Leonard Cohen - Undertow lyrics

[Leonard Cohen - Undertow lyrics]

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 an 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

Oh, I set out one night but I did not know

I'd be caught in the grip of an 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
