Leonard Cohen - One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong Lyrics
I lit a thin green candleTo make you jealous of me,But the room just filled up with mosquitoesThey heard that my body was freeThen I took the dust of a long sleepless nightAnd I put it in your little shoe,Then I confess that I tortured the dressThat you wore for the world to look through.I showed my heart to the doctorHe said Id just have to quitThen he wrote himself a prescriptionAnd your name was mentioned in it,Then he locked himself in a library shelfWith the details of our honeymoonAnd I hear from the nurse that hes gotten much worseAnd his practice is all in a ruin.I heard of a saint who had loved youSo I studied all night in his schoolHe taught that the duty of loversIs to tarnish the golden rule,And just when I was sure that his teachings were pureHe drowned himself in the pool,His body is gone, but back here on the lawnHis spirit continues to drool.An eskimo showed me a movieHed recently taken of youThe poor man could hardly stop shivering,His lips and his fingers were blueI suppose that he froze when the wind took your clothesAnd I guess he just never got warmBut you stand there so nice in your blizzard of iceO please let me come into the storm.
