Leonard Cohen - One of Us Cannot Be Wrong
|
I lit a thin green candle
|
|
to make you jealous of me
|
|
But the room just filled up with mosquitos
|
|
they heard that my body was free
|
|
Then I took the dust of a long sleepless night
|
|
and I put it in your little shoe
|
|
And then I confess that I tortured the dress
|
|
that you wore for the world to look through
|
|
I showed my heart to the doctor
|
|
he said I just have to quit
|
|
Then he wrote himself a prescription
|
|
and your name was mentioned in it
|
|
Then he locked himself in a library shelf
|
|
with the details of our honeymoon
|
|
And I hear from the nurse that he's gotten
|
|
much worse and his practice is all in a ruin
|
|
I heard of a saint who had loved you
|
|
so I studied all night in his school
|
|
He taught that the duty of lovers
|
|
is to tarnish the golden rule
|
|
And just when I was sure that his teachings
|
|
were pure he drowned himself in the pool
|
|
His body is gone but back here on the lawn
|
|
his spirit continues to drool
|
|
An Eskimo showed me a movie
|
|
he'd recently taken of you
|
|
The poor man could hardly stop shivering
|
|
his lips and his fingers were blue
|
|
I suppose that he froze when the wind
|
|
took your clothes and I guess he just never got warm
|
|
But you stand there so nice, in your blizzard of ice
|
|
oh please let me come into the storm
