Master Song - Leonard Cohen[00:00:00]
Written by:Leonard Cohen[00:00:01]
I believe that you heard your master sing[00:00:13]
When I was sick in bed[00:00:19]
I suppose that he told you everything[00:00:24]
That I keep locked away in my head[00:00:29]
Your master took you travelling[00:00:34]
Well at least that's that's what you said[00:00:39]
And now do you come back to bring[00:00:44]
Your prisoner wine and bread[00:00:48]
You met him at some temple where[00:01:01]
They take your clothes at the door[00:01:07]
He was just a numberless man in a chair[00:01:11]
Who'd just come back from the war[00:01:16]
And you wrap up his tired face in your hair[00:01:21]
And he hands you the apple core[00:01:26]
Then he touches your lips now so suddenly bare[00:01:31]
Of all the kisses we put on some time before[00:01:36]
And he gave you a german shepherd to walk[00:01:49]
With a collar of leather and nails[00:01:54]
And he never once made you explain or talk[00:01:59]
About all of the little details[00:02:04]
Such as who had a word and who had a rock[00:02:09]
And who had you through the mails[00:02:14]
Now your love is a secret all over the block[00:02:19]
And it never stops not even when your master fails[00:02:24]
And he took you up in his aeroplane[00:02:37]
Which he flew without any hands[00:02:42]
And you cruised above the ribbons of rain[00:02:47]
That drove the crowd from the stands[00:02:52]
Then he killed the lights in a lonely lane[00:02:57]
And an ape with angel glands[00:03:02]
Erased the final wisps of pain[00:03:07]
With the music of rubber bands[00:03:12]
And now I hear your master sing[00:03:24]
You kneel for him to come[00:03:29]
His body is a golden string[00:03:34]
That your body is hanging from[00:03:39]
His body is a golden string[00:03:44]
My body has grown numb[00:03:48]
Oh now you hear your master sing[00:03:54]
Your shirt is all undone[00:03:58]
And will you kneel beside this bed[00:04:12]
That we polished so long ago[00:04:17]
Before your master chose instead[00:04:21]
To make my bed of snow[00:04:26]
Your eyes are wild and your knuckles are red[00:04:31]
And you're speaking far too low[00:04:35]
No I can't make out what your master said[00:04:40]
Before he made you go[00:04:45]
Then I think you're playing far too rough[00:04:58]
For a lady who's been to the moon[00:05:03]
I've lain by this window long enough[00:05:07]
To get used to an empty room[00:05:12]
And your love is some dust in an old man's cough[00:05:17]
Who is tapping his foot to a tune[00:05:21]
And your thighs are a ruin you want too much[00:05:26]
Let's say you came back some time too soon[00:05:31]
I loved your master perfectly[00:05:43]
I taught him all that he knew[00:05:48]
He was starving in some deep mystery[00:05:53]
Like a man who is sure what is true[00:05:57]
And I sent you to him with my guarantee[00:06:02]
I could teach him something new[00:06:06]
And I taught him how you would long for me[00:06:11]
No matter what he said no matter what you'd do[00:06:16]
I believe that you heard your master sing[00:06:28]
While I was sick in bed[00:06:33]
I'm sure that he told you everything[00:06:37]
I must keep locked away in my head[00:06:42]
Your master took you travelling[00:06:46]
Well at least that's what you said[00:06:51]
And now do you come back to bring[00:06:56]
Your prisoner wine and bread[00:07:00]
