Leonard Cohen Night Magic - Coming Back Lyrics

Night Magic - Coming Back Lyrics

(Angels) You can't do this 

You must do what 

We must do what must
be done 

(Judy) I hear my baby calling 

He is asking to be born 

I see the curtains parting 

That our kisses have outworn ... 



(Angels) Kisses all outworn... 



(Judy) I'll raise a tent of
shelter 

Now though every thread is torn 



(Angels) Every
thread is torn... 



(Judy) I take my life from realms of light 

And hang it on a thorn 



(Angels) Hanging on a thorn... 



(Judy) I hear the children calling 

Asking to be born 

I
see the curtains parting 

And my life upon a thorn 



The
stars have lost their fire 

And the moon has lost her voice 

And
I'm coming back to find you 

I have made the human choice. 



(Angels) You've made your choice 

The world you choose 

Garlands
of planets and starlight 

Now you lose 



(Judy) He's the only
one who knows me 

He's the riddle of my life 

And they'll never
tell the story 

Of the husband and the wife 



(Angels) The
world she chooses, she loses... 



(Judy) He's the stone that broke
my heart 

The foundation of my home -- 



(Angels) This we
must do! 



(Judy) He's the sweetness of the sweetness 

Of the
sweetness honeycomb 



(Angels) We must do what we must do! 



(Judy) And he's welcome to his glory 

And he's buried in my
life 

And they'll never tell the story 

Of the husband and the wife




(Angels) She takes her life from realms of light 



(Valkyries) She hangs it on a thorn 



(Angels) She disobeys the
law 



(Valkyries) The law is broken 

You must get them 



(Angels) Get him. -acap
