And jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said all men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe youll trust him
For hes touched your perfect body with his mind.

Good to see the words of Leonard Cohen.....I really enjoyed his concert in Manchester (UK), though it wasn't a very intimate venue to share poetry.
ReplyDeleteYeah I went to his concert in Perth, not very intimate either, but still mind imploding anyway :)
