    Long as I remember the rain been comin down.
    Clouds of mystry pourin confusion on the ground.
    Good men through the ages, tryin to find the sun;
    And I wonder, still I wonder, who’ll stop the rain.

    I went down virginia, seekin shelter from the storm.
    Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow.
    Five year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chains.
    And I wonder, still I wonder who’ll stop the rain.

    Heard the singers playin, how we cheered for more.
    The crowd had rushed together, tryin to keep warm.
    Still the rain kept pourin, fallin on my ears.
    And I wonder, still I wonder who’ll stop the rain.

    You’re cynical and beautiful
    You always make a scene
    You’re monochrome delirious
    You’re nothing that you seem
    I’m drowning in your vanity
    Your laugh is a disease
    You know you’re everything I need

    Chorus:
    Everything you are
    Falls from the sky like a star
    Everything you are
    Whatever ever you want

    I wanna kick at the machine
    That made you piss away your dreams
    And tear at your defenses
    Till there’s nothing left but me
    You’re angry when you’re beautiful
    Your love is such a tease
    I’m drowning in your dizzy noise
    I wanna feel you scream

    Chorus

    i’m not a perfect person. there are many things i wish i didnt do
    but i continue learning. i never meant to do those things to you.
    and so i have to say before i go, that i just want you to know

    i’ve found a reason for me, to change who i used to be
    a reason to start over new, and the reason is you

    i’m sorry that i hurt, its something i must live with everyday
    and all the pain i put you through, i wish that i could take it all away
    and be the one who catches all your tears, thats why i need you to hear

    i’m not a perfect person, i never meant to do those things to you
    and so i have to say before i go that i just want you to know

    i’ve found a reason for me, to change who i used to be
    a reason to start over new, and the reason is you
    i’ve found a reason to show a side of me you didnt know
    a reason for all that i do, and the reason is you

    Tomorrow Never Knows

    Turn off your mind relax and float down stream
    It is not dying
    It is not dying

    Lay down all thoughts surrender to the void
    It is shining
    It is shining

    That you may see the meaning of within
    It is being
    It is being

    That love is all and love is everyone
    It is knowing
    It is knowing

    That ignorance and hate may mourn the dead
    It is believing
    It is believing

    But listen to the colour of your dreams
    It is not living
    It is not living

    Or play the game Existence to the end
    Of the beginning
    Of the beginning
    Of the beginning
    Of the beginning
    Of the beginning
    Of the beginning
    Of the beginning

    From bitter searching of the heart,
    Quickened with passion and with pain
    We rise to play a greater part.
    This is the faith from which we start:
    Men shall know commonwealth again
    From bitter searching of the heart.
    We loved the easy and the smart,
    But now, with keener hand and brain,
    We rise to play a greater part.
    The lesser loyalties depart,
    And neither race nor creed remain
    From bitter searching of the heart.
    Not steering by the venal chart
    That tricked the mass for private gain,
    We rise to play a greater part.
    Reshaping narrow law and art
    Whose symbols are the millions slain,
    From bitter searching of the heart
    We rise to play a greater part

    The Future

    Give me back my broken night
    My mirrored room
    My secret life
    It’s lonely here
    There’s no one left to torture

    Give me absolute control
    Over every living soul
    And lie beside me baby
    That’s an order

    Give me crack and anal sex
    Take the only tree that’s left
    Stuff it up the hole
    In your culture

    Give me back the Berlin wall
    Give me Stalin and St Paul
    I’ve seen the future brother
    It is murder

    Things are gonna slide
    Slide in all direction
    Won’t be nothing
    Nothing you can measure anymore
    The blizzard
    The blizzard of the world
    Has crossed the threshold
    And it’s overturned
    The order of the soul

    When they said
    Repent
    Repent
    I wonder what they meant?
    When they said
    Repent
    Repent
    I wonder what they meant?
    When they said
    Repent
    Repent
    I wonder what they meant?

    You don’t know me from the wind
    You never will
    You never did
    I’m the little Jew
    Who wrote the Bible

    I’ve seen the nations rise and fall
    I’ve heard their stories
    Heard them all
    But love’s the only engine of survival

    Your servant here he has been told
    To say it clear to say it cold
    It’s over
    It ain’t going any further

    And now the wheels of heaven stop
    You feel the devil’s riding crop
    Get ready for the future
    It is murder

    Things are gonna slide
    Slide in all direction
    Won’t be nothing
    Nothing you can measure anymore
    The blizzard
    The blizzard of the world
    Has crossed the threshold
    And it’s overturned
    The order of the soul

    When they said
    Repent
    Repent
    I wonder what they meant?
    When they said
    Repent
    Repent
    I wonder what they meant?
    When they said
    Repent
    Repent
    I wonder what they meant?

    There’ll be the breaking of the ancient western code
    Your private life will suddenly explode
    There’ll be phantoms
    There’ll be fires on the road
    And the white man dancing
    You’ll see a woman
    Hanging upside down
    Her features covered by her fallen gown
    And all the lousy little poets coming round
    Tryin’ to sound like Charlie Manson
    And the white man dancin’

    Give me back the Berlin wall
    Give me Stalin and St Paul
    Give me Christ
    Or give me Hiroshima
    Destroy another foetus now
    We don’t like children anyhow
    I’ve seen the future baby
    It is murder

    Things are gonna slide
    Slide in all direction
    Won’t be nothing
    Nothing you can measure anymore
    The blizzard
    The blizzard of the world
    Has crossed the threshold
    And it’s overturned
    The order of the soul

    When they said
    Repent
    Repent
    I wonder what they meant?
    When they said
    Repent
    Repent
    I wonder what they meant?
    When they said
    Repent
    Repent
    I wonder what they meant?
    When they said
    Repent
    Repent..

    Democracy

    It’s coming through a hole in the air
    From those nights in Tiananmen Square
    It’s coming from the feel
    That this ain’t exactly real
    Or it’s real but it ain’t exactly there

    From the war against disorder
    From the sirens night and day
    From the fires of the homeless
    From the ashes of the gay

    Democracy is coming
    To the U.S.A.

    It’s coming through a crack in the wall
    On a visionary flood of alcohol
    From the staggering account
    Of the Sermon on the Mount
    Which I don’t pretend to understand at all

    It’s coming from the silence
    On the dock of the bay
    From the brave
    The bold
    The battered
    Heart of Chevrolet

    Democracy is coming
    To the U.S.A.

    It’s coming from the sorrow in the street
    The holy places where the races meet
    From the homicidal bi.tchin’
    That goes down in every kitchen
    To determine who will serve and who will eat

    From the wells of disappointment
    Where the women kneel to pray
    For the grace of God in the desert here
    And the desert far away..

    Democracy is coming
    To the U.S.A.

    Sail on
    Sail on
    Oh mighty Ship of State

    To the Shores of Need
    Past the Reefs of Greed
    Through the Squalls of Hate

    Sail on
    Sail on
    Sail on
    Sail on

    It’s coming to America first
    The cradle of the best and of the worst
    It’s here they got the range
    And the machinery for change
    And it’s here they got the spiritual thirst

    It’s here the family’s broken
    And it’s here the lonely say
    That the heart has got to open
    In a Fundamental way

    Democracy is coming
    To the U.S.A.

    It’s coming from the women and the men
    Oh baby
    We’ll be making love again
    We’ll be going down so deep
    The river’s going to weep
    And the mountain’s going to shout Amen!

    It’s coming like the tidal flood
    Beneath the lunar sway
    Imperial
    Mysterious
    In amorous array

    Democracy is coming
    To the U.S.A.

    Sail on
    Sail on
    Oh mighty Ship of State

    To the Shores of Need
    Past the Reefs of Greed
    Through the Squalls of Hate

    Sail on
    Sail on
    Sail on
    Sail on

    I’m sentimental
    If you know what I mean
    I love the country but I can’t stand the scene
    And I’m neither left or right
    I’m just staying home tonight
    Getting lost in that hopeless little screen

    But I’m stubborn as those garbage bags
    That Time cannot decay
    I’m junk but I’m still holding up
    This little wild bouquet

    Democracy is coming
    To the U.S.A.

    Leonard Cohen
