Master Song - Leonard Cohen[00:00:00]
I believe that you heard your master sing[00:00:10]
When I was sick in bed [00:00:15]
I suppose that he told you everything[00:00:18]
That I keep locked away in my head [00:00:23]
Your master took you travelling [00:00:27]
Well at least that's what you said [00:00:31]
And now do you come back to bring[00:00:35]
Your prisoner wine and bread [00:00:39]
You met him at some temple where[00:00:49]
They take your clothes at the door [00:00:53]
He was just a numberless man in a chair[00:00:57]
Who'd just come back from the war [00:01:02]
And you wrap up his[00:01:05]
Tired face in your hair[00:01:06]
And he hands you the apple core [00:01:09]
Then he touches your[00:01:13]
Lips now so suddenly bare[00:01:14]
Of all the kisses we put[00:01:17]
On some time before [00:01:19]
And he gave you a German Shepherd to walk[00:01:27]
With a collar of leather and nails [00:01:31]
And he never once made[00:01:35]
You explain or talk[00:01:37]
About all of the little details [00:01:39]
Such as who had a word[00:01:43]
And who had a rock [00:01:45]
And who had you through the mails [00:01:47]
Now your love is a[00:01:50]
Secret all over the block [00:01:52]
And it never stops not[00:01:54]
Even when your master fails [00:01:56]
And he took you up in his aeroplane [00:02:05]
Which he flew without any hands [00:02:09]
And you cruised above the ribbons of rain[00:02:13]
That drove the crowd from the stands [00:02:16]
Then he killed the lights in a lonely Lane[00:02:20]
And an ape with angel glands [00:02:25]
Erased the final wisps of pain[00:02:28]
With the music of rubber bands [00:02:32]
And now I hear your master sing [00:02:43]
You kneel for him to come [00:02:46]
His body is a golden string[00:02:50]
That your body is hanging from [00:02:54]
His body is a golden string [00:02:58]
My body has grown numb [00:03:02]
Oh now you hear your master sing [00:03:06]
Your shirt is all undone [00:03:10]
And will you kneel beside this bed[00:03:20]
That we polished so long ago [00:03:24]
Before your master chose instead[00:03:28]
To make my bed of snow [00:03:32]
Your eyes are wild and your knuckles are red[00:03:36]
And you're speaking far too low [00:03:40]
No I can't make out what your master said[00:03:44]
Before he made you go [00:03:48]
Then I think you're playing far too rough[00:03:58]
For a lady who's been to the moon;[00:04:02]
I've lain by this window long enough[00:04:06]
To get used to an empty room [00:04:10]
And your love is some[00:04:14]
Dust in an old man's cough[00:04:15]
Who is tapping his foot to a tune [00:04:18]
And your thighs are a ruin [00:04:22]
You want too much [00:04:24]
Let's say you came back[00:04:26]
Some time too soon [00:04:29]
I loved your master perfectly[00:04:36]
I taught him all that he knew [00:04:40]
He was starving in some deep mystery[00:04:44]
Like a man who is sure what is true [00:04:48]
And I sent you to him with my guarantee[00:04:52]
I could teach him something new [00:04:57]
And I taught him how you[00:05:00]
Would long for me[00:05:02]
No matter what he said[00:05:04]
No matter what you'd do [00:05:06]
I believe that you heard your master sing[00:05:14]
While I was sick in bed [00:05:19]
I'm sure that he told you everything[00:05:22]
I must keep locked away in my head [00:05:26]
Your master took you travelling [00:05:31]
Well at least that's what you said [00:05:34]
And now do you come back to bring[00:05:38]
Your prisoner wine and bread[00:05:42]
