[00:00:00] Master Song - Leonard Cohen

[00:00:01] Written by：Leonard Cohen

[00:00:13] I believe that you heard your master sing

[00:00:19] When I was sick in bed

[00:00:24] I suppose that he told you everything

[00:00:29] That I keep locked away in my head

[00:00:34] Your master took you travelling

[00:00:39] Well at least that's that's what you said

[00:00:44] And now do you come back to bring

[00:00:48] Your prisoner wine and bread

[00:01:01] You met him at some temple where

[00:01:07] They take your clothes at the door

[00:01:11] He was just a numberless man in a chair

[00:01:16] Who'd just come back from the war

[00:01:21] And you wrap up his tired face in your hair

[00:01:26] And he hands you the apple core

[00:01:31] Then he touches your lips now so suddenly bare

[00:01:36] Of all the kisses we put on some time before

[00:01:49] And he gave you a german shepherd to walk

[00:01:54] With a collar of leather and nails

[00:01:59] And he never once made you explain or talk

[00:02:04] About all of the little details

[00:02:09] Such as who had a word and who had a rock

[00:02:14] And who had you through the mails

[00:02:19] Now your love is a secret all over the block

[00:02:24] And it never stops not even when your master fails

[00:02:37] And he took you up in his aeroplane

[00:02:42] Which he flew without any hands

[00:02:47] And you cruised above the ribbons of rain

[00:02:52] That drove the crowd from the stands

[00:02:57] Then he killed the lights in a lonely lane

[00:03:02] And an ape with angel glands

[00:03:07] Erased the final wisps of pain

[00:03:12] With the music of rubber bands

[00:03:24] And now I hear your master sing

[00:03:29] You kneel for him to come

[00:03:34] His body is a golden string

[00:03:39] That your body is hanging from

[00:03:44] His body is a golden string

[00:03:48] My body has grown numb

[00:03:54] Oh now you hear your master sing

[00:03:58] Your shirt is all undone

[00:04:12] And will you kneel beside this bed

[00:04:17] That we polished so long ago

[00:04:21] Before your master chose instead

[00:04:26] To make my bed of snow

[00:04:31] Your eyes are wild and your knuckles are red

[00:04:35] And you're speaking far too low

[00:04:40] No I can't make out what your master said

[00:04:45] Before he made you go

[00:04:58] Then I think you're playing far too rough

[00:05:03] For a lady who's been to the moon

[00:05:07] I've lain by this window long enough

[00:05:12] To get used to an empty room

[00:05:17] And your love is some dust in an old man's cough

[00:05:21] Who is tapping his foot to a tune

[00:05:26] And your thighs are a ruin you want too much

[00:05:31] Let's say you came back some time too soon

[00:05:43] I loved your master perfectly

[00:05:48] I taught him all that he knew

[00:05:53] He was starving in some deep mystery

[00:05:57] Like a man who is sure what is true

[00:06:02] And I sent you to him with my guarantee

[00:06:06] I could teach him something new

[00:06:11] And I taught him how you would long for me

[00:06:16] No matter what he said no matter what you'd do

[00:06:28] I believe that you heard your master sing

[00:06:33] While I was sick in bed

[00:06:37] I'm sure that he told you everything

[00:06:42] I must keep locked away in my head

[00:06:46] Your master took you travelling

[00:06:51] Well at least that's what you said

[00:06:56] And now do you come back to bring

[00:07:00] Your prisoner wine and bread
