Leonard Cohen - Humbled in Love слова песни
Do you remember all of those pledgesThat we pledged in the passionate nightAh theyre soiled now, theyre torn at the edgesLike moths on a still yellow lightNo penance serves to renew themNo massive transfusions of trustWhy not even revenge can undo themSo twisted these vows and so crushedAnd you say youve been humbled in loveCut down in your loveForced to kneel in the mud next to meAh but why so bitterly turn from the oneWho kneels there as deeply as theeChildren have takes these pledgesThey have ferried them out of the pastOh beyond all the graves and the hedgesWhere love must go hiding at lastAnd here where there is no descriptionOh here in the moment at handNo sinner need rise up forgivenNo victim need limp to the standAnd you say youve been humbled in love...And look dear heart, look at the virgin how she welcomes him into her gownYes, and mark how the strangers cold armourDissolves like a star falling downWhy trade this vision for desireWhen you may have them bothYou will never see a man this nakedI will never hold a woman this closeAnd you say youve been humbled in love...
