leonard cohen - one of us cannot be wrong lyrics

Loading...

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 from a long and a sleepless night
and i have 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,
your name was mentioned in it!

and he locked himself into a library shelf
ah with all of the details of our…, our shabby honeymoon,
and i hear from the nurse, yeah that he’s got much worse
and his…, his practice has fallen into ruin.

and i heard of a saint who’d loved you, yeah i studied all night in his school.
he taught that the duty of lovers
is to tarnish the…, the golden rule.
and just when i was sure that his teachings were pure
he went and drowned himself in the pool.
his body is gone, yeah but back here on the lawn
his spirit continues to drool.

an eskimo showed me that movie, he’d recently taken of you:
while the poor man could hardly stop shivering,
his lips, his fingers were blue.
i suppose he froze when the wind tore off your clothes
and i…, 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.

i suppose he froze when the wind tore off your clothes
and i…, i guess he just never got warm.
but you stand there so nice, in your blizzard of ice,
oh please let me come into…, come into the storm.
