Amen Lyrics - Old Ideas - Leonard Cohen

Tell me again 

When I've been to the river 

And I've taken the edge off my thirst 

Tell me again 

We're alone and I'm listening 

I'm listening so hard that it hurts 

Tell me again 

When I'm clean and I'm sober 

Tell me again 

When I've seen through the horror 

Tell me again 

Tell me over and over 

Tell me that you want me then 

Amen 

Amen 

Amen 

Amen 

Tell me again 

When the victims are singing 

And the laws of remorse are restored 

Tell me again 

That you know what I'm thinking 

But vengeance belongs to the Lord 

Tell me again 

When I'm clean and I'm sober 

Tell me again 

When I've seen through the horror 

Tell me again 

Tell me over and over 

Tell me that you love me then 

Amen 

Amen 

Amen 

Amen 

Tell me again 

When the day has been ransomed 

And the night has no right to begin 

Try me again 

When the angels are panting 

And scratching at the door to come in 

Tell me again 

When I'm clean and I'm sober 

Tell me again 

When I've seen through the horror 

Tell me again 

Tell me over and over 

Tell me that you need me then 

Amen 

Amen 

Amen 

Amen 

Tell me again 

When the filth of the butcher 

Is washed in the blood of the lamb 

Tell me again 

When the rest of the culture 

Has passed through the eye of the camp 

Tell me again 

When I'm clean and I'm sober 

Tell me again 

When I've seen through the horror 

Tell me again 

Tell me over and over 

Tell me that you love me then 

Amen 

Amen 

Amen 

Amen
