By the Rivers Dark - Leonard Cohen cover. Performed by Robert Haigh.
LYRICS:
By the rivers dark I wandered on
I lived my life in Babylon
And I did forget my holy song
And I had no strength in Babylon
By the rivers dark where I could not see
Who was waiting there who was hunting me
And He cut my lip and He cut my heart
So I could not drink from the rivers dark
And He covered me and I saw within
My lawless heart and my wedding ring
I did not know and I could not see
Who was waiting there who was hunting me
By the rivers dark I panicked on
I belonged at last to Babylon
Then He struck my heart with a deadly force
And He said "This heart it is not yours"
And He gave the wind my wedding ring
And He circled us with everything
By the rivers dark in a wounded dawn
I live my life in Babylon
Though I take my song from a withered limb
Both song and tree they sing for Him
Be the truth unsaid and the blessing gone
If I forget my Babylon
And I did not know and I could not see
Who was waiting there who was hunting me
By the rivers dark where it all goes on
By the rivers dark in Babylon
By the rivers dark in Babylon
