"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"

Humbled in Love - Leonard Cohen

"Now you can say that I’ve grown bitter but of this you may be sure
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
And there’s a mighty judgement coming, but I may be wrong
You see, you hear these funny voices in the tower of song"

Tower of Song - Leonard Cohen

"Ah, but who is it climbs to your picture
With a garland of freshly cut tears?"

Take This Waltz - Leonard Cohen

"It’s lonely here, there’s no one left to torture."

The Future - Leonard Cohen

"And though I wear a uniform I was not born to fight
all these wounded boys you lie beside
goodnight, my friends, goodnight"

Last Year’s Man - Leonard Cohen

"

If you want a lover
I’ll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I’ll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I’m your man

If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
I’ll examine every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
I’m your man

"

I’m Your Man - Leonard Cohen (via duhasstmich) (via fuckyeahleonardcohen)

"So I knelt there at the delta
At the alpha and the omega
I knelt there like one who believes
And like a blessing come from heaven
For something like a second
I was cured and my heart
Was at ease"

Light as the Breeze - Leonard Cohen

"I did my best, it wasn’t much
I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I’ll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah"

Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen

"Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you’re worried that I just might win
You know the way to stop me, but you don’t have the discipline"

First We Take Manhattan - Leonard Cohen

"Dance me through the panic ‘til I’m gathered safely in"

Dance Me To The End Of Love - Leonard Cohen
