Light As The Breeze Lyrics by Leonard Cohen

Light As The Breeze Lyrics

    She stands before you naked
    You can see it, you can taste it,
    And she comes to you light as the breeze.
    Now you can drink it or you can nurse it,
    It don't matter how you worship
    As long as you're
    Down on your knees.

    So i knelt there at the delta,
    At the alpha and the omega,
    At the cradle of the river and the seas.
    And like a blessing come from heaven
    For something like a second
    I was healed and my heart
    Was at ease.

    O baby i waited
    So long for your kiss
    For something to happen,
    Oh something like this.

    And you're weak and you're harmless
    And you're sleeping in your harness
    And the wind going wild
    In the trees,
    And it ain't exactly prison
    But you'll never be forgiven
    For whatever you've done
    With the keys.

    O baby i waited ...

    It's dark now and it's snowing
    O my love i must be going,
    The river has started to freeze.
    And i'm sick of pretending
    I'm broken from bending
    I've lived too long on my knees.

    Then she dances so graceful
    And your heart's hard and hateful
    And she's naked
    But that's just a tease.
    And you turn in disgust
    From your hatred and from your love
    And comes to you
    Light as the breeze.

    O baby i waited ...

    There's blood on every bracelet
    You can see it, you can taste it,
    And it's please baby
    Please baby please.
    And she says, drink deeply, pilgrim
    But don't forget there's still a woman
    Beneath this
    Resplendent chemise.

    So i knelt there at the delta,
    At the alpha and the omega,
    I knelt there like one who believes.
    And the blessings come from heaven
    And for something like a second
    I'm cured and my heart
    Is at ease.
