Leonard Cohen - Come Healing Lyrics
Chorus:O, gather up the brokennessBring it to me nowThe fragrance of those promisesYou never dared to vowThe splinters that you carriedThe cross you left behindCome healing of the bodyCome healing of the mindAnd let the heavens hear itThe penitential hymnCome healing of the spiritCome healing of the limbLeonard:Behold the gates of mercyIn arbitrary spaceAnd none of us deserving Of cruelty or the graceTogether: O, solitude of longingWhere love has been confinedCome healing of the bodyCome healing of the mindO, see the darkness yieldingThat tore the light apartCome healing of the reasonCome healing of the heartO, troubledness concealingAn undivided loveThe heart beneath is teaching To the broken heart aboveAnd let the heavens falterLet the earth proclaimCome healing of the altarCome healing of the nameChorus:O, longing of the branchesTo lift the little budO, longing of the arteriesTo purify the bloodTogether:And let the heavens hear itThe penitential hymnCome healing of the spiritCome healing of the limbO let the heavens hear itThe penitential hymnCome healing of the spiritCome healing of the limb
