(Leonard Cohen)
2
I stepped into an avalanche
3
It covered up my soul
4
When I am not this hunchback that you see
5
I sleep beneath the golden hill
6
You who wish to conquer pain
7
You must learn to serve me well
8
You strike my side by accident
9
As you go down to your goal
10
This cripple here that you clothe and feed
11
Is neither starved nor cold
12
He does not ask for your company
13
Not at the centre, the centre of the world
14
I who am on a pedestal
15
You did not raise me there
16
Your laws do not compel me now
17
To kneel grotesque and bare
18
For I myself am the pedestal
19
For this ugly hump at which you stare
20
You who wish to conquer pain
21
You must learn what makes me kind
22
The crumbs of love that you offer me
23
Are the crumbs I've left behind
24
Your pain is no credential here
25
It's just a shadow of my wound
26
I have begun to ask for you
27
I who have no greed
28
I have begun to long for you
29
I who have no need
30
You say you've gone away from me
31
But I can feel you when you breathe
32
Do not dress in those rags for me
33
I know you are not poor
34
And do not love me quite so fiercely now
35
When you know that you are not sure
36
It is your turn, my beloved one
37
It is your flesh that I wear
