Leonard Cohen Lover Lover Lover

Tekst piosenki

[Verse]
I asked my father
I said, „Father change my name.”
The one I’m using now it’s covered up
With fear and filth and cowardice and shame

[Chorus]
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me

[Chorus]

[Verse]
He said, „I locked you in this body
I meant it as a kind of trial
You can use it for a weapon
Or to make some woman smile.”

[Chorus]

[Verse]
„Then let me start again,” I cried
„please let me start again
I want a face that’s fair this time
I want a spirit that is calm.”

[Chorus]

[Verse]
„I never never turned aside,” he said
„I never walked away
It was you who built the temple
It was you who covered up my face.”

[Chorus]

[Verse]
And may the spirit of this song
May it rise up pure and free
May it be a shield for you
A shield against the enemy

[Chorus]x2
