Lullaby Songtext

von Leonard Cohen

I can't break the code
Of our frozen love.
It's too late to know
What the password was.
If your heart is torn,
I don't wonder why.
If the night is long,
Here's my lullaby.
Here's my lullaby.
Through the tears of lies,
Oh, I will come to you.
When our dead arrive,
I will wait there too.
If your heart is torn,
I don't wonder why.
If the night is long,
Here's my lullaby.
Here's my lullaby.
Though we stand accused,
And the world believes,
I will live our truth,
Be it on my knees.
If your heart is torn,
I don't wonder why.
If the night is long,
Here's my lullaby.
Here's my lullaby.
I reach for the past
But I come up short
And I lift my life [light?]
Like a last resort
If your heart is torn,
I don't wonder why.
If the night is long,
Here's my lullaby.
Here's my lullaby.
In a time of shame,
And we make a stand,
And they have your name,
We'll go hand in hand.
If your heart is torn,
I don't wonder why.
If the night is long,
Here's my lullaby.
Here's my lullaby
