Leonard Cohen - One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong Lyrics

I lit a thin green candle 
to make you jealous of me 
but the room just filled with mosquitos 
they heard that my body was free 
then I took the dust from a long sleepless night 
and I put it in your little shoe 
then I confess that I tortured the dress 
that you wore for the world to look through. 

I showed my heart to the doctor 
He said I'd just have to quit 
Then he wrote himself a prescription 
and your name was mentioned in it 
then he locked himself in a library shelf 
with the details of our honeymoon 
and I hear from the nurse that he's gotten much worse 
and his practice is all in a ruin. 

I heard of a saint who had loved you 
so I studied all night in his school 
He taught that the duty of lovers 
was to tarnish the golden rule 
And just when I was sure that his teachings were pure 
he drowned himself in a pool 
His body is gone but back here on the lawn 
his spirit continues to drool. 

An eskimo showed me a movie 
he'd recently taken of you 
the poor man could hardly stop shivering 
his lips and his fingers were blue 
I suppose that he froze when the wind took your clothes 
and I guess he just never got warm 
But you stand there so nice in your blizzard of ice 
O please let me come into the storm.
