#Leonard Cohen: One of us cannot be wrong
#
#I heard this song nearly thousand years ago when I was a fifteen year old boy.
#And as simple as the music of the song is, it captivated me until today.
#
#The song appears on the CD "Songs of Leonard Cohen"
#and on the newest live album "Leonard Cohen: Live In Concert"
#
#Knows anybody the chords of "Dance me to the end of love"?
#I would be thankful if you'd send them to my email-adress

I lit a thin green candle
to make you jealous of me
but the room just filled up with mosquitoes
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'd just have to quit
then he wrote himself a perscription
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
o, please let me come into the storm.
