LEONARD COHEN lyrics : "Iodine"

I needed you, I knew I was in danger
of losing what I used to think was mine
You let me love you till I was a failure,

You let me love you till I was a failure --
Your beauty on my bruise like iodine
I asked you if a man could be forgiven

And though I failed at love, was this a crime?
You said, Don't worry, don't worry, darling
You said, Don't worry, don't you worry, darling

There are many ways a man can serve his time

You covered up that place I could not master

It wasn't dark enough to shut my eyes
So I was with you, O sweet compassion
Yes I was with you, O sweet compassion

Compassion with the sting of iodine

Your saintly kisses reeked of iodine

Your fragrance with a fume of iodine
And pity in the room like iodine


Your sister fingers burned like iodine
And all my wanton lust was iodine
My masquerade of trust was iodine

And everywhere the flare of iodine
