I caught the darkness,
It was drinking from your cup.
I caught the darkness,
Drinking from your cup.
I said is this contagious?
You said just drink it up.
I got no future,
I know my days are few.
The present’s not that pleasant,
Just a lot of things to do.
I thought the past would last me
But the darkness got that too.
I should’ve seen it coming
It was right behind your eyes.
You were young and it was summer
I just had to take a dive.
Winnin’ you was easy, but darkness was the price.
I don’t smoke no cigarette, I don’t drink no alcohol
I ain’t had much loving yet
But that’s always been your call.
Hey I don’t miss it baby
I got no taste for anything at all.
I used to love the rainbow
And I used to love the view.
Another early morning, I’d pretend that it was you.
But I caught the darkness baby
And I got it worse than you.
I caught the darkness,
It was drinking from your cup.
I caught the darkness,
Drinking from your cup.
I said is this contagious?
You said just drink it up.

I started my day with the Wilburys. I am old.
Giliell, professional cynic -Ilk- says
Too cheery
Caine says
Giliell:
I agree.
Raucous Indignation says
Cheery? Too cheery? [blink blink] I spent yesterday with Against Me!. Tuesday was Steely Dan. I forget what I started Monday with, Depeche Mode maybe, but I cannot wallow in darkness every day. Some days you just have to put on Earth Wind and Fire and exalt to a glorious Boogie Wonderland!
Caine says
Yes. That day is not today. I would dearly like today to go the fuck away.
Raucous Indignation says
Meeuw.
Rob Grigjanis says
Definitely a Raindrop day here in Toronto.
rq says
Eeeehhhh. This was about right for today.
His voice just makes things a little it better, even when he’s being depressing and when things are depressing all around. No one will ever write songs for me, but sometimes I can pretend Cohen is singing about me anyway.
