Leonard Cohen- Show Me The Place

Amazing Cohen!!!
Lyrics:


Show me the place, where you want your slave to go
Show me the place, I've forgotten I don't know
Show me the place where my head is bend and low
Show me the place, where you want your slave to go

Show me the place, help me roll away the stone
Show me the place, I can't move this thing alone
Show me the place where the word became a man
Show me the place where the suffering began

The troubles came I saved what I could save
A thread of light, a particle a wave
But there were chains so I hastended to behave
There were chains, so I loved you
Like a slave

Show me the place, where you want your slave to go
Show me the place, I've forgotten I don't know
Show me the place where my head is bend and low
Show me the place, where you want your slave to go

The troubles came I saved what I could save
A thread of light, a particle a wave
But there were chains so I hastened to behave
There were chains so I loved you like a slave

Show me the place
Show me the place
Show me the place

Show me the place, help me roll away the stone
Show me the place, I can't move this thing alone
Show me the place where the word became a man
Show me the place where the suffering began

Muchísimas gracias Isisiva por compartirlo. Descubrí a Leonard Cohen cuando era joven cantando "Suzanne" y desde entonces soy un fan incondicicional y siempre que viene a España voy a donde pueda verlo actuar en directo. Con tu permiso lo añado a mis favoritos.

Aquí lleváis el video de su reciente premio Príncipe de Asturias 2011

I have been listening to Mr. Cohen's music for many, many years now...I am greateful beyond words for the poetry, the beauty, the wisdom, the sensuality and the humour he has been sharing with us over the past decades. Good Old Lenny, thank you so much and may you live in excellent health for as long as you wish.

@DrPlum I think that is not worth even to mention those three people.

I've loved Leonard's music for years and own about every CD he's ever done. This song is one of the darkest he's ever written. He's always seemed to have a mystical bent, but here he's lost any vision of a loving reality that some might call God. As frequently, his meaning is not easy to parse. The 1st and 2nd verses don't jibe. Certainly, Leonard doesn't seem to have a lot of hope these days. I'm reminded that some later verses of 'Hallelujah' were much darker than those recorded earlier.
