Leonard Cohen - Lullaby Lyrics

Artist: Leonard Cohen

Album: Old Ideas

Genre: Folk

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
