Leonard Cohen
"Undertow" lyrics

Undertow

I set out one night
When the tide was low
There were signs in the sky
But I did not know

I'd be caught in the grip
Of the undertow
Ditched on a beach
Where the sea hates to go

With a child in my arms
And a chill in my soul
And my heart the shape
Of a begging bowl

I set out one night
But I did not know

I'd be caught in the grip
Of the undertow
Ditched on a beach
Where the sea hates to go

With a child in my arms
And a chill in my soul
And my heart the shape
Of a begging bowl
