the butcher - leonard cohen lyrics

Loading...

i came upon a butcher,
he was slaughtering a lamb,
i accused him there
with his tortured lamb.
he said, “listen to me, child,
i am what i am and you, you are my only son.”

well, i found a silver needle,
i put it into my arm.
it did some good,
did some harm.
but the nights were cold
and it almost kept me warm,
how come the night is long?

i saw some flowers growing up
where that lamb fell down;
was i supposed to praise my lord,
make some kind of joyful sound?
he said, “listen, listen to me now,
i go round and round
and you, you are my only child.”

do not leave me now,
do not leave me now,
i’m broken down
from a recent fall.
blood upon my body
and ice upon my soul,
lead on, my son, it is your world.
