Leonard Cohen Night Magic - The Promise Lyrics

Night Magic - The Promise Lyrics

Judy) Once I was happy to 

Roam through the gold and blue 

Now
something haunts me 

I know it's real 

Someone returns 

The
desire I feel 

(Angels) We could have passed him by 



(Judy)
Should have passed him by 

So many others cry 



(Angels) One
more human cry 



(Judy) So many others 

Reaching for 

A
thread through the night 

Or one lover more 



He has a dream




(Angels) It's his dream 



(Judy) I dream it too 



(Angels) It's not your dream 



(Judy) He dreams of the
promise 

We swore we would come through 



(Angels) The
promise is not yours alone to honor 



(Judy) But we said we'd...




(Angels) This is not our part 



(Judy) Open his heart




(Angels) Now it is open 



(Judy) No, now it must start




(Michael) You promised me whatever was in my heart 



(Angels) We promised him whatever was in his heart 



(Michael)
You swore that I could speak from the heart 

(Angels) Yes, we said he'd
speak from his heart 



(Michael) Now I have chosen 

And you
must obey 



(Judy) I will obey 



(Michael) It's my
heart that commands 

And it must have its way 

I want you 

I
need you 

I can't live without you 

Anymore 



(Judy)
Your heart commands me 

And I will obey you 

I need you 

I
can't live without you 

Anymore 



(Judy
