Amen

Tell me again When I’ve been to the river And I’ve taken the edge off my thirst Tell me again We’re alone and I’m listening I’m listening so hard that it hurts Tell me again When I’m clean and I’m sober Tell me again When I’ve seen through the horror Tell me again Tell me over and over Tell me that you want me then Amen Amen Amen Amen Tell me again When the victims are singing And the laws of remorse are restored Tell me again That you know what I’m thinking But vengeance belongs to the Lord Tell me again When I’m clean and I’m sober Tell me again When I’ve seen through the horror Tell me again Tell me over and over Tell me that you love me then Amen Amen Amen Amen Tell me again When the day has been ransomed And the night has no right to begin Try me again When the angels are panting And scratching at the door to come in Tell me again When I’m clean and I’m sober Tell me again When I’ve seen through the horror Tell me again Tell me over and over Tell me that you need me then Amen Amen Amen Amen Tell me again When the filth of the butcher Is washed in the blood of the lamb Tell me again When the rest of the culture Has passed through the eye of the camp Tell me again When I’m clean and I’m sober Tell me again When I’ve seen through the horror Tell me again Tell me over and over Tell me that you love me then Amen Amen Amen Amen --- Amen - Leonard Cohen
