Leonard Cohen - That Don't Make It Junk [Live] Lyrics

I fought against the bottle
But I had to do it drunk
Took my diamond to the pawn shop
But that don't make it junk

I know that I'm forgiven
But I don't know how I know
I don't trust my inner feelings
Inner feelings come and go

How come you called me here tonight?
How come you bother with this old heart at all?
You raise me up in grace
Then you put me in a place where I must fall

It's too late to mix another drink
All the lights are going out
I'll just listen to the darkness sing
Oh, I know what that's all about

I tried to love you my way
But I couldn't make it hold
So I closed the book of longing
And I do what I am told

How come you called me here tonight?
How come you bother with my heart at all?
You raise me up in grace
Then you put me in a place where I must fall

I fought against the bottle
But I had to do it drunk
Took my diamond to the pawn shop
But that don't make it junk

I fought against the bottle
But I had to do it drunk
Took my diamond to the pawn shop
But that don't make it junk
That don't make it junk, that don't make it junk
