Leonard Cohen - Banjo Lyrics






There’s something that I’m watching
Means a lot to me
It’s a broken banjo bobbing
On the dark infested sea

Don’t know how it got there
Maybe taken by the wave
Off of someone’s shoulder
Or out of someone’s grave

It’s coming for me darling
No matter where I go
Its duty is to harm me
My duty is to know

There’s something that I’m watching
Means a lot to me
It’s a broken banjo bobbing
On the dark infested sea

    My beloved beloved one
    What does your silence mean
    I don't understand
    I just woke up again
    I fell asleep at ten or so
    From utter exhaustion
    I have been washing
    Out fits in the bathroom sink
    Apart from that my beloved one
    I stare up at the ceiling
    And watch the planes
    In the distance through my bars
    Maybe on of them is you
    But they never are
    It's just me alone
    With you in my thoughts
    All day everyday of you
    Were are you my darling
    Now all I have as well
    Is silence from you
    I LOVE YOU I LOVE I LOVE YOU
    Are you leaving me know
    You are my mate
    I need you I need you
    I live only for you
    So it's late
    No matter
    You are my mate
    Why oh why
    Do you not hear me
    I'm calling I'm calling
    Out too you
    Were are you my mate
    A year of calling
    Out crying and calling
    For my mate
    Hear my calls of despair
    One mate can't exist without the other
    I'm calling I'M CALLING FOR MY MATE
    PLEASE HEAR MY CALLS
    OF DESPAIR OF TEARS
    I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU

    I send these words too you on the Northern Star
    That she might carry them too you
    I LOVE MY BELOVED MATE

    I WILL CALL AGAIN WEDNESDAY
    MAY BE YOU MIGHT HEAR ME
    I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY ESSENCE MY LOVE MY BELOVED ONE
