Songtexte Came So Far for Beauty - Leonard Cohen
I
came
so
far
for
beauty
I
left
so
much
behind
My
patience
and
my
family
My
masterpiece
unsigned
I
thought
I′d
be
rewarded
For
such
a
lonely
choice
And
surely
she
would
answer
To
such
a
very
hopeless
voice
I
practiced
on
my
sainthood
I
gave
to
one
and
all
But
the
rumours
of
my
virtue
They
moved
her
not
at
all
I
changed
my
style
to
silver
I
changed
my
clothes
to
black
And
where
I
would
surrender
Now
I
would
attack
I
stormed
the
old
casino
For
the
money
and
the
flesh
And
I
myself
decided
What
was
rotten
and
what
was
fresh
And
men
to
do
my
bidding
And
broken
bones
to
teach
The
value
of
my
pardon
The
shadow
of
my
reach
But
no,
I
could
not
touch
her
With
such
a
heavy
hand
Her
star
beyond
my
order
Her
nakedness
unmanned
I
came
so
far
for
beauty
I
left
so
much
behind
My
patience
and
my
family
My
masterpiece
unsigned
