Lyrics Avalanche - Leonard Cohen
Well
I
stepped
into
an
avalanche
It
covered
up
my
soul
When
I
am
not
this
hunchback
that
you
see
I
sleep
beneath
the
golden
hills
You
who
wish
to
conquer
pain
You
must
learn,
learn
to
serve
me
well
You
strike
my
side
by
accident
As
you
go
down
for
your
gold
The
crippled
h
i
that
you
clothe
and
feed
Is
neither
starved
nor
cold
He
does
not
ask
for
your
company
Not
at
the
centre,
the
centre
of
the
world
When
I
am
on
a
pedestal
You
did
not
raise
me
there
Your
laws
do
not
compel
me
To
kneel
grotesque
and
bare
I
myself
am
the
piedestal
For
this
ugly
hump
at
which
you
stare
You
who
wish
to
conquer
pain
You
must
learn
what
makes
me
kind
The
crumbs
of
love
that
you
offer
me
They're
the
crumbs
I've
left
behind
Your
pain
is
no
credential
here
It's
just
the
shadow,
shadow
of
my
wound
I
have
begun
to
long
for
you
I
who
have
no
greed
I
have
begun
to
ask
for
you
I
who
have
no
need
You
say
you've
gone
away
from
me
But
I
can
feel
you
when
you
breathe
Do
not
dress
in
those
rags
for
me
I
know
you
are
not
poor
You
don't
love
me
quite
so
fiercely
now
When
you
know
that
you
are
not
sure
It
is
your
turn,
beloved
It
is
your
flesh
that
I
wear
