Leonard Cohen - Iodine Lyrics

Lyrics Iodine - Leonard Cohen



I needed you, I knew I was in danger
Of losing what I used to think was mine
You let me love you ′til I was a failure
You let me love you 'til 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, oh sweet compassion
Yes I was with you, oh 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
My masquerade of trust was iodine
And everywhere the flare of iodine
Yes, it started with the flare of iodine
