leonard cohen – iodine lyrics
i needed you, i knew i was in danger
of losing what i used to think was mine
you let me love you till i was a failure,
you let me love you till i was a failure —
your beauty on my bruise like iodine
i asked you if a man could be forgiven
and though i failed at love, was this a crime?
you said, don’t worry, don’t worry, darling
you said, don’t worry, don’t you worry, darling
there are many ways a man can serve his time
you covered up that place i could not master
it wasn’t dark enough to shut my eyes
so i was with you, o sweet comp-ssion
yes i was with you, o sweet comp-ssion
comp-ssion with the sting of iodine
your saintly kisses reeked of iodine
your fragrance with a fume of iodine
and pity in the room like iodine
your sister fingers burned like iodine
and all my wanton l-st was iodine
my masquerade of trust was iodine
and everywhere the flare of iodine
