Leonard Cohen - When Desire Rests lyrics
[Leonard Cohen - When Desire Rests lyrics]
You know I'm looking at you
You know what I'm thinking
You know you're interested
I am very skillful
You will forget that I am old
Unless you want to remember it
Unless you want to see
What happens to desire how free it becomes
How shamelessly involved in love
For every woman and her stockings
When desire rests
It is signaled by two people
Faraway on a green blanket
(or is it the flowers of moss)
Two people waving from a distance
Stretched out like things that have to dry
With tender smiles on their
Little round faces waving at desire
As it rests in the foreground
Foothill-shaped, peaceful
Devoted as a dog made of tears
You know what I'm thinking
You know you're interested
I am very skillful
You will forget that I am old
Unless you want to remember it
Unless you want to see
What happens to desire how free it becomes
How shamelessly involved in love
For every woman and her stockings
When desire rests
It is signaled by two people
Faraway on a green blanket
(or is it the flowers of moss)
Two people waving from a distance
Stretched out like things that have to dry
With tender smiles on their
Little round faces waving at desire
As it rests in the foreground
Foothill-shaped, peaceful
Devoted as a dog made of tears
