Leonard Cohen

On That Day

Leonard Cohen


Some people say 
It's what we deserve 
For sins against g-d 
For crimes in the world 
I wouldn't know 
I'm just holding the fort 
Since that day 
They wounded New York 
Some people say 
They hate us of old 
Our women unveiled 
Our slaves and our gold 
I wouldn't know 
I'm just holding the fort 
But answer me this 
I won't take you to court 
Did you go crazy 
Or did you report 
On that day 
On that day 
They wounded New York
