Leonard Cohen - Amen lyrics

[Leonard Cohen - Amen lyrics]

Tell me again when I've been to the river
And I've taken the edge off my thirst

Tell me again
We're alone and I'm, I'm listening
I'm listening so hard that it hurts

Tell me again when I'm clean and I'm sober
Tell me again
When I've seen through the horror
Tell me again tell me over and over
Tell me that you want me then amen
Amen amen
Amen

Tell me again when the victims are singing
And the Laws of Remorse are restored

Tell me again
That you know what I'm thinking
But vengeance belongs to the lord



Tell me again when I'm clean and I'm sober
Tell me again
When I've seen through the horror
Tell me again tell me over and over
Tell me that you love me then amen
Amen amen
Amen

Tell me again when the day has been ransomed
And the night has no right to begin

Try me again when the angels are panting
And scratching at the door to come in

Tell me again when I'm clean and I'm sober
Tell me again
When I've seen through the horror
Tell me again tell me over and over
Tell me that you need me then amen
Amen amen
Amen

Tell me again when the filth of the butcher
Is washed in the blood of the lamb

Tell me again when the rest of the culture
Has passed thru' the Eye of the Camp

Tell me again when I'm clean and I'm sober
Tell me again
When I've seen through the horror
Tell me again tell me over and over
Tell me that you love me then amen
Amen amen
Amen
