Leonard Cohen Lyrics

Album: Dear Heather

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 the 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
