Song of Bernadette Lyrics

There was a child named Bernadette I heard the story long ago She saw the queen of heaven once And kept the vision in her soul No one believed what she had seen No one believed what she heard But there were sorrows to be healed And mercy, mercy in this world
So many hearts I find, broke like yours and mine Torn by what we have done and can't undo I just want to hold you, won't you let me hold you Like Bernadette would do
We've been around, we fall, we fly [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/song-of-bernadette-lyrics-leonard-cohen.html ] We mostly fall, we mostly run And every now and then we try To mend the damage that we've done Tonight, tonight I just can't rest I've got this joy in my breast To Think that I did not forget that child That song of Bernadette
So many hearts I find, broke like yours and mine Torn by what we've done and can't undo I just want to hold you, won't you let me hold you Like Bernadette would do
