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 with mosquitos they heard that my body was free then I took the dust from a long sleepless night and I put it in your little shoe 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'd 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 was to tarnish the golden rule And just when I was sure that his teachings were pure he drowned himself in a 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 O please let me come into the storm.
