Because Of Lyrics
by Leonard Cohen
Because of a few songs
Wherein I spoke of their mystery,
Women have been
Exceptionally kind
to my old age.
They make a secret place
In their busy lives
And they take me there.
They become naked
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e64545-leonard_cohen~because_of_lyrics.html ]
In their different ways
and they say, "Look at me, Leonard
Look at me one last time."
Then they bend over the bed
And cover me up
Like a baby that is shivering.
