Take This Longing - Leonard Cohen[00:00:00]
Many men have loved the bells[00:00:06]
You fastened to the rein [00:00:11]
And everyone who wanted you[00:00:16]
They found what they will always want again [00:00:20]
Your beauty lost to you yourself[00:00:27]
Just as it was lost to them [00:00:31]
Oh take this longing from my tongue [00:00:35]
Whatever useless things these hands have done [00:00:40]
Let me see your beauty broken down[00:00:46]
Like you would do for one you love [00:00:52]
Your body like a searchlight[00:01:03]
My poverty revealed [00:01:08]
I would like to try your charity[00:01:13]
Until you cry "Now you must try my greed "[00:01:17]
And everything depends upon[00:01:25]
How near you sleep to me[00:01:28]
Just take this longing from my tongue[00:01:33]
All the lonely things my hands have done [00:01:38]
Let me see your beauty broken down[00:01:43]
Like you would do for one your love [00:01:49]
Hungry as an archway[00:02:01]
Through which the troops have passed [00:02:05]
I stand in ruins behind you [00:02:10]
With your winter clothes your broken sandal straps [00:02:13]
I love to see you naked over there[00:02:22]
Especially from the back [00:02:27]
Oh take this longing from my tongue [00:02:30]
All the useless things my hands have done [00:02:35]
Untie for me your hired blue gown [00:02:40]
Like you would do for one that you love [00:02:46]
You're faithful to the better man [00:02:57]
I'm afraid that he left [00:03:02]
So let me judge your love affair[00:03:07]
In this very room where I have sentenced[00:03:10]
Mine to death [00:03:15]
I'll even wear these old laurel leaves[00:03:18]
That he's shaken from his head [00:03:22]
Just take this longing from my tongue [00:03:27]
All the useless things my hands have done [00:03:32]
Let me see your beauty broken down [00:03:36]
Like you would do for one you love [00:03:42]
Like you would do for one you love[00:03:51]
