Good stuff from an honest man. These are the lyrics to another Leonard Cohen song from his album Old Ideas.
“Show Me The Place”
by Leonard CohenShow me the place
Where you want your slave to goShow me the place
I’ve forgotten I don’t knowShow me the place
For my head is bending lowShow me the place
Where you want your slave to goShow me the place
Help me roll away the stoneShow me the place
I can’t move this thing aloneShow me the place
Where the Word became a manShow me the place
Where the suffering beganThe troubles came
I saved what I could save
A thread of light
A particle a wave
But there were chains
So I hastened to behave
There were chains
So I loved you like a slaveShow me the place
Where you want your slave to goShow me the place
I’ve forgotten I don’t knowShow me the place
For my head is bending lowShow me the place
Where you want your slave to go
The troubles came
I saved what I could save
A thread of light
A particle a wave
But there were chains
So I hastened to behave
There were chains
So I loved you like a slaveShow me the place
Show me the place
Show me the placeShow me the place
Help me roll away the stoneShow me the place
I can’t move this thing aloneShow me the place
Where the Word became a manShow me the place
Where the suffering began
