This songs uses the melody of the Canadian folk song “Un Canadien Errant”, a song written in 1842 by Antoine Gérin-Lajoie after the Lower Canada Rebellion of 1837–38. Cohen had already recorded this song on his 1979 album Recent Songs, as “The Lost Canadian (Un Canadien Errant)”.
Here, Cohen takes...
The sea so deep and blind
The sun, the wild regret
The club, the wheel, the mind
O love, aren't you tired yet?
The blood, the soil, the faith
These words you can't forget
Your vow, your holy place
O love, aren't you tired yet?
The blood, the soil, the faith
O love, aren't you tired yet?
A cross on every hill
A star, a minaret
So many graves to fill
O love, aren't you tired yet?
So many graves to fill
O love, aren't you tired yet?
The sea so deep and blind
Where still the sun must set
And time itself unwind
O love, aren't you tired yet?
And time itself unwind
O love, aren't you tired yet?
