Darkness

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 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 that too I shoulda seen it coming It was right behind your eyes You were young and it was summer I just had to take a dive When I knew was easy, the 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 Hey 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'd pretend that it was you But I caught the darkness baby 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 --- Darkness - Leonard Cohen
