Night Comes On Lyrics

Cover art for Night Comes On lyrics by Leonard Cohen

For me, he's singing about a lot of things - he's brilliant at writing in layers; listening to his music is like peeling an onion. I hear references to Nazi Germany, to sex, to the Yom Kippur war, to sadness and grief, to the pain of loss, to religion, and even - ultimately - to hope. And I always feel there's more to be heard. I'm not sure I'll ever get enough of this song.
