[00:00.00]Avalanche (Live Oct 12, 2008|Gothenburg Scandinavium, Gothengurg, Sweden) - Leonard Cohen
[00:22.32]Well I stepped into an avalanche
[00:24.78]
[00:27.35]It covered up my soul
[00:29.28]
[00:32.10]When I am not this hunchback that you see
[00:36.77]I sleep beneath the golden hill
[00:39.11]
[00:42.06]You who wish to conquer pain
[00:45.32]You must learn
[00:47.26]Learn to serve me well
[00:48.65]
[00:56.94]You strike my side by accident
[00:58.92]
[01:01.61]As you go down for your gold
[01:03.62]
[01:06.06]The cripple here
[01:07.86]That you clothe and feed
[01:09.61]
[01:10.87]Is neither starved nor cold
[01:12.84]
[01:15.89]He does not ask for your company
[01:18.53]
[01:19.32]Not at the centre
[01:21.40]Of the world
[01:22.60]
[01:31.41]When I am on a pedestal
[01:33.09]
[01:36.10]You did not raise me there
[01:37.94]
[01:40.66]Your laws do not compel me
[01:42.86]
[01:45.26]To kneel grotesque and bare
[01:47.79]
[01:50.22]I myself am the pedestal
[01:52.69]
[01:53.25]For this ugly hump
[01:54.28]
[01:55.99]At which you stare
[02:09.39]You who wish to conquer pain
[02:11.61]
[02:12.67]You must learn what makes me kind
[02:15.56]
[02:18.34]The crumbs of love that you offer me
[02:21.13]
[02:21.90]They're the crumbs i've left behind
[02:24.45]
[02:28.18]Your pain is no credential here
[02:31.01]It's just the shadow
[02:33.71]Of my wound
[02:34.69]
[02:46.89]I have begun to long for you
[02:49.30]
[02:51.41]I who have no greed
[02:53.45]
[02:56.03]I have begun to week for you
[02:58.76]
[03:00.83]I who have no great
[03:02.47]
[03:05.72]You say youve gone away from me
[03:08.42]But I can feel you
[03:10.52]Feel you when you breathe
[03:12.08]
[03:25.71]Do not dress in those rags for me
[03:28.04]
[03:30.02]I know you are not poor
[03:34.89]You don't love me quite so fiercely now
[03:37.63]
[03:38.60]When you know that you are not sure
[03:41.80]
[03:44.56]It is your turn beloved
[03:47.54]It is your flesh that I wear
[03:51.12]
[03:53.87]It is your wrune beloved
[03:56.02]
[03:56.76]It is your flesh that I wear
