Leonard Cohen - On That Day lyrics
[Leonard Cohen - On That Day lyrics]
Some people say it's what we deserve
For sins against God for crimes in the world
I wouldn't know i'm just holding the fort
Since that day they wounded New York
Some people say they hate us of old
Our women unveiled our slaves and our gold
I wouldn't know i'm just holding the fort
But answer me this i won't take you to court
Did you go crazy or did you report
On that day on that day
They wounded New York
(On that day they wounded New York)
For sins against God for crimes in the world
I wouldn't know i'm just holding the fort
Since that day they wounded New York
Some people say they hate us of old
Our women unveiled our slaves and our gold
I wouldn't know i'm just holding the fort
But answer me this i won't take you to court
Did you go crazy or did you report
On that day on that day
They wounded New York
(On that day they wounded New York)
