Humbled In Love | |
Leonard Cohen | |
Do you remember all of those pledges | |
That we pledged in the passionate night | |
Ah they're soiled now, they're torn at the edges | |
Like moths on a still yellow light | |
No penance serves to renew them | |
No massive transfusions of trust | |
Why not even revenge can undo them | |
So twisted these vows and so crushed | |
And you say you've been humbled in love | |
Cut down in your love | |
Forced to kneel in the mud next to me | |
Ah but why so bitterly turn from the one | |
Who kneels there as deeply as thee | |
Children have taken these pledges | |
They have ferried them out of the past | |
Oh beyond all the graves and the hedges | |
Where love must go hiding at last | |
And here where there is no description | |
Oh here in the moment at hand | |
No sinner need rise up forgiven | |
No victim need limp to the stand | |
And you say you've been humbled in love | |
Cut down in your love | |
Forced to kneel in the mud next to me | |
Ah but why so bitterly turn from the one | |
Who kneels there as deeply as thee | |
And look dear heart, look at the virgin how she welcomes him into her gown | |
Yes, and mark how the stranger's cold armour | |
Dissolves like a star falling down | |
Why trade this vision for desire | |
When you may have them both | |
You will never see a man this naked | |
I will never hold a woman this close | |
And you say you've been humbled in love | |
Cut down in your love | |
Forced to kneel in the mud next to me | |
Ah but why so bitterly turn from the one | |
Who kneels there as deeply as thee |
