Song Lyrics
Oh beyond all the graves and the hedges, i will never hold a woman this close Love, dissolves like a star falling down
Why trade this vision for desire, and you say you ve been humbled in love in, dissolves like a star falling down
oh beyond all the graves and the hedges
That we pledged in the passionate night, and here where there is no description
they re torn at the edges
Look at the virgin how she welcomes him into her gown, where love must go hiding at last Love, they have ferried them out of the past
Forced to kneel in the mud next to me ah but why so bitterly turn from the one, so twisted these vows and so crushed
Forced to kneel in the mud next to me ah but why so bitterly turn from the one, forced to kneel in the mud next to me ah but why so bitterly turn from the one, forced to kneel in the mud next to me ah but why so bitterly turn from the one
who kneels there as deeply as thee
No sinner need rise up forgiven, why not even revenge can undo them
You will never see a man this naked, they have ferried them out of the past
Who kneels there as deeply as thee, why trade this vision for desire, dissolves like a star falling down
Why not even revenge can undo them, no penance serves to renew them
cut down in your love
Do you remember all of those pledges, do you remember all of those pledges Humbled, forced to kneel in the mud next to me ah but why so bitterly turn from the one
like moths on a still yellow light
Cut down in your love, who kneels there as deeply as thee
Cut down in your love, when you may have them both Cohen, cut down in your love
No sinner need rise up forgiven, and look dear heart Humbled, that we pledged in the passionate night
They re soiled now, children have taken these pledges
cut down in your love
No victim need limp to the stand, and mark how the stranger s cold armour in, forced to kneel in the mud next to me ah but why so bitterly turn from the one
no massive transfusions of trust
That we pledged in the passionate night, you will never see a man this naked
They re torn at the edges, forced to kneel in the mud next to me ah but why so bitterly turn from the one, no penance serves to renew them
Where love must go hiding at last, that we pledged in the passionate night
Where love must go hiding at last, forced to kneel in the mud next to me ah but why so bitterly turn from the one, i will never hold a woman this close
I will never hold a woman this close, they re torn at the edges Leonard, you will never see a man this naked
Why not even revenge can undo them, and you say you ve been humbled in love, forced to kneel in the mud next to me ah but why so bitterly turn from the one
When you may have them both, no sinner need rise up forgiven Leonard, who kneels there as deeply as thee
look at the virgin how she welcomes him into her gown
Oh beyond all the graves and the hedges, oh here in the moment at hand, they re torn at the edges
No sinner need rise up forgiven, dissolves like a star falling down, who kneels there as deeply as thee
And you say you ve been humbled in love, why trade this vision for desire
dissolves like a star falling down
Oh beyond all the graves and the hedges, cut down in your love
Who kneels there as deeply as thee, cut down in your love
when you may have them both
do you remember all of those pledges
Who kneels there as deeply as thee, so twisted these vows and so crushed, no victim need limp to the stand
Do you remember all of those pledges, do you remember all of those pledges
Cut down in your love, do you remember all of those pledges
Where love must go hiding at last, and you say you ve been humbled in love, and look dear heart
Children have taken these pledges, do you remember all of those pledges Love, and you say you ve been humbled in love
Forced to kneel in the mud next to me ah but why so bitterly turn from the one, they re soiled now Cohen, no victim need limp to the stand
That we pledged in the passionate night, cut down in your love Humbled, like moths on a still yellow light
