LEONARD COHEN lyrics : "Come Healing"

Chorus:
O, gather 'round the brokenness
Bring it to me now

The fragrance of those promises
You never dared to vow


The splinters that you carried
The cross you left behind
Come healing of the body

Come healing of the mind

And let the heavens hear it

The penitential hymn
Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb


Leonard:
Behold the gates of mercy

In arbitrary space
And none of us deserving
Of cruelty or the grace


Together:
O, solitude of longing

Where love has been confined
Come healing of the body
Come healing of the mind


O, see the darkness yielding
That tore the light apart

Come healing of the reason
Come healing of the heart


O, troubledness concealing
An undivided love
The heart beneath is teaching

To the broken heart above

And let the heavens utter

Let the earth proclaim
Come healing of the altar
Come healing of the name


Chorus:
O, longing of the branches

To lift the little bird
O, longing of the arteries
To purify the blood


Together:
And let the heavens hear it

The penitential hymn
Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb


O let the heavens hear it
The penitential hymn

Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb
