Banjo
Leonard Cohen · Old Ideas [1974]
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
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
