《Master Song》歌词

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

[00:00:10] I believe that you heard your master sing

[00:00:15] When I was sick in bed

[00:00:18] I suppose that he told you everything

[00:00:23] That I keep locked away in my head

[00:00:27] Your master took you travelling

[00:00:31] Well at least that's what you said

[00:00:35] And now do you come back to bring

[00:00:39] Your prisoner wine and bread

[00:00:49] You met him at some temple where

[00:00:53] They take your clothes at the door

[00:00:57] He was just a numberless man in a chair

[00:01:02] Who'd just come back from the war

[00:01:05] And you wrap up his

[00:01:06] Tired face in your hair

[00:01:09] And he hands you the apple core

[00:01:13] Then he touches your

[00:01:14] Lips now so suddenly bare

[00:01:17] Of all the kisses we put

[00:01:19] On some time before

[00:01:27] And he gave you a German Shepherd to walk

[00:01:31] With a collar of leather and nails

[00:01:35] And he never once made

[00:01:37] You explain or talk

[00:01:39] About all of the little details

[00:01:43] Such as who had a word

[00:01:45] And who had a rock

[00:01:47] And who had you through the mails

[00:01:50] Now your love is a

[00:01:52] Secret all over the block

[00:01:54] And it never stops not

[00:01:56] Even when your master fails

[00:02:05] And he took you up in his aeroplane

[00:02:09] Which he flew without any hands

[00:02:13] And you cruised above the ribbons of rain

[00:02:16] That drove the crowd from the stands

[00:02:20] Then he killed the lights in a lonely Lane

[00:02:25] And an ape with angel glands

[00:02:28] Erased the final wisps of pain

[00:02:32] With the music of rubber bands

[00:02:43] And now I hear your master sing

[00:02:46] You kneel for him to come

[00:02:50] His body is a golden string

[00:02:54] That your body is hanging from

[00:02:58] His body is a golden string

[00:03:02] My body has grown numb

[00:03:06] Oh now you hear your master sing

[00:03:10] Your shirt is all undone

[00:03:20] And will you kneel beside this bed

[00:03:24] That we polished so long ago

[00:03:28] Before your master chose instead

[00:03:32] To make my bed of snow

[00:03:36] Your eyes are wild and your knuckles are red

[00:03:40] And you're speaking far too low

[00:03:44] No I can't make out what your master said

[00:03:48] Before he made you go

[00:03:58] Then I think you're playing far too rough

[00:04:02] For a lady who's been to the moon;

[00:04:06] I've lain by this window long enough

[00:04:10] To get used to an empty room

[00:04:14] And your love is some

[00:04:15] Dust in an old man's cough

[00:04:18] Who is tapping his foot to a tune

[00:04:22] And your thighs are a ruin

[00:04:24] You want too much

[00:04:26] Let's say you came back

[00:04:29] Some time too soon

[00:04:36] I loved your master perfectly

[00:04:40] I taught him all that he knew

[00:04:44] He was starving in some deep mystery

[00:04:48] Like a man who is sure what is true

[00:04:52] And I sent you to him with my guarantee

[00:04:57] I could teach him something new

[00:05:00] And I taught him how you

[00:05:02] Would long for me

[00:05:04] No matter what he said

[00:05:06] No matter what you'd do

[00:05:14] I believe that you heard your master sing

[00:05:19] While I was sick in bed

[00:05:22] I'm sure that he told you everything

[00:05:26] I must keep locked away in my head

[00:05:31] Your master took you travelling

[00:05:34] Well at least that's what you said

[00:05:38] And now do you come back to bring

[00:05:42] Your prisoner wine and bread
