True love had found us and vowed to be around us
till the end of the time (baby baby)
And we were the lovers who once could show the others
how a poem should rhyme (oh didn’t we baby)
That love has faded from your touch somehow,
it seems one-sided to me now, I beg you.
Babe let’s bring back that once in a lifetime
when we were the ones who took a ride on a rainbow
and kissed in the sun.
Let’s try to bring back the time when we had stars in our eyes.
Hey babe, this once in a lifetime, let’s fly.
Don’t say goodbye,
don’t let our love just die.
And though I’m so near you I’m living in the fear
you will leave soon (baby baby)
And we sang the chorus that love had written for us.
but we fell out of tune (oh didn’t we baby)
No doubt this broken heart will never mend.
You know I’ll love you to the end, I beg you.
Babe let’s bring back that once in a lifetime
when we were the ones who took a ride on a rainbow
and kissed in the sun.
Let’s try to bring back the time when we had stars in our eyes.
Hey babe, this once in a lifetime, let’s fly.
Don’t say goodbye,
don’t let our love just die.
Bring back the love of yesterday
that somehow got away
‘cause baby I love you,
you know that I love you.(Leonard Cohen)
I stepped into an avalanche
It covered up my soul
When I am not this hunchback that you see
I sleep beneath the golden hill
You who wish to conquer pain
You must learn to serve me well
You strike my side by accident
As you go down to your goal
This cripple here that you clothe and feed
Is neither starved nor cold
He does not ask for your company
Not at the centre, the centre of the world
I who am on a pedestal
You did not raise me there
Your laws do not compel me now
To kneel grotesque and bare
For I myself am the pedestal
For this ugly hump at which you stare
You who wish to conquer pain
You must learn what makes me kind
The crumbs of love that you offer me
Are the crumbs I've left behind
Your pain is no credential here
It's just a shadow of my wound
I have begun to ask for you
I who have no greed
I have begun to long for you
I who have no need
You say you've gone away from me
But I can feel you when you breathe
Do not dress in those rags for me
I know you are not poor
And do not love me quite so fiercely now
When you know that you are not sure
It is your turn, my beloved one
It is your flesh that I wear
