Leonard Cohen Lyrics

Album: Dear Heather

The Faith Lyrics

[Based on a Quebec folk song]

 

 The sea so deep and blind

 The sun, the wild regret

 The club, the wheel, the mind,

 O love, aren't you tired yet?

 The club, the wheel, the mind

 O love, aren't you tired yet?

 The blood, the soil, the faith

 These words you can't forget

 Your vow, your holy place

 O love, aren't you tired yet?

 The blood, the soil, the faith

 O love, aren't you tired yet?

 A cross on every hill

 A star, a minaret

 So many graves to fill

 O love, aren't you tired yet?

 So many graves to fill

 O love, aren't you tired yet?

 The sea so deep and blind

 Where still the sun must set

 And time itself unwind

 O love, aren't you tired yet?

 And time itself unwind

 O love, aren't you tired yet?
