Iodine

Iodine - Leonard Cohen (萊昂納德·科恩)

I needed you I knew I was in danger

Of losing what I used to think was mine

You let me love you till I was a failure

You let me love you till I was a failure

Your beauty on my bruise like iodine

I asked you if a man could be forgiven

And though I failed at love was this a crime

You said don't worry don't worry darling

You said don't worry don't you worry darling

There are many ways a man can serve his time

You covered up that place I could not master

It wasn't dark enough to shut my eyes

So I was with you oh sweet compassion

Yes I was with you oh sweet compassion

Compassion with the sting of iodine

Your saintly kisses reeked of iodine

Your fragrance with a fume of iodine

And pity in the room like iodine
