Generate meaning
1
there's the odour of incense
2
and i double in pain
3
and i flick through the past
4
as arrayed in my mind
5
on a bed in a room
6
that's locked on some hill
7
i'm gripping her hand
8
as she cries to the wall
9
the years stumble away
10
and the pain dissipates
11
Suzanne is clad in blues
12
with a mark in her hand
13
the lines round her lips
14
are now scars in my mind
15
down at the quayside
16
through the sun's rising mists
17
Suzanne drags me down
18
all this world's in your mind
19
can salvation emerge
20
from the well of this dream?
21
where the horses run formless
22
the sky cancels its stars
23
then the fumes of the incense
24
rise across the walls
25
and she watches me sideways
26
like the world is on fire
27
between the beat of her heart
28
and her gesture of fingers
29
the grip in her hands
30
as it beckons through me
31
she smiles through my pain
32
and my loss yet to come
33
i wait on the platform
34
for our lives to restart
35
and i wanted to tell her
36
how all my hearts felt
37
but my words barb inside me
38
and my lips cannot part
39
from the twisting of smokes
40
as we sit in her room
41
to the sorrow i feel
42
as i fall out of dreams
43
inexplicable sadness
44
this gash that i feel
45
devoid of her moon
46
and ripped of my sun
47
if i knew at that joining
48
if i knew at that parting
49
if i knew at that second
50
if i knew at that moment
51
the candlewax melts
52
and the water stops shining
53
that which is started
54
is so easily falling
55
from cathedrals of sand
56
that the ocean laps away
57
and sometimes i wake empty
58
and she floats through my symbols
59
and i move as to hold her
60
and
61
lament for my Suzanne
62
i wait for you still
Leonard Cohen - Suzanne (Official Audio)
