Leonard Cohen - Darkness Lyrics

I caught the darkness
It was drinking from your cup
I caught the darkness
Drinking from your cup
I said: Is this contagious?
You said: Just drink it up

I've got no future
I know my days are few
The present's, not that pleasant
Just a lot of things to do
I thought the past would last me
But the darkness got there too

I should've seen it coming
It was red behind your eyes
You were young and it was summer
I just had to take a dive
Winning you was easy
But darkness was the price

I don't smoke no cigarette
I don't drink no alcohol
I ain't had much loving yet
But that's always been your call
And I don't miss it baby
I got no taste for anything at all

I used to love the rainbow
And I used to love the view
Another early morning
I pretend that it was new
But I caught the darkness
And I got it worse than you

I caught the darkness
It was drinking from your cup
I caught the darkness
Drinking from your cup
I said: Is this contagious?
You said: Just drink it up
