Leonard Cohen - Everybody's Child





Yes I remember the promise
That you made in the bar
When the kittens was born
And you could not keep warm

You moved away to a mountain
The sun rose behind
You said yourself a prayer
That you laid down on the blind

You lost them in your freedom,
You need 'em now you're wild
Blessed is the memory
Of everybody's child.

And the vow of compassion
That ya swore through your teeth
When the war began to end
And the little brown photographs weep

Nobody beleive it only
But as the train pulls away
With its cargo of folly
Sold as German paperweights

Costing you your freedom,
Even now you're wild
Blessed is the memory
Of everybody's child

do do do do do do
do do do do

Well it's four in the morning
And there's no one at home
Except for your wife
And your little baby on the phone
Ah, somebody's gotta listen
To a promise or two
This room is far too small
For a pilgrim like you

They're offering you your freedom,
Yeah you need 'em now - you're wild
Blessed is the memory
Of everybody's child.

~~

Ah, but now that you've decided
To follow the sun,
Like a shadow of waiting there
Or a king on the run

Your chains are too tight
For these seas you must swim.
You're smiling at the seaweed,
But your smile is much too grim.

Costing you your freedom, yeah,
Even now you're wild,
But blessed is the memory
Of eveybody's child
