Night Magic - Throne of Desire Variations - Leonard Cohen



Let me start with you Miss Shy

Bundled up in your mother's lie

Tip toe, tip toe

Hiding your silky pleasure

Miss Shy come to me

Along the snowy paths of modesty

Tip toe, tip toe

Hiding your silky treasure



Come to me with downcast eyes

Come to me and claim the prize

Of your outrageous pleasure



How I like you Miss Shy

Bundled up in your mother's lie

Tip toe --

Claim your outrageous pleasure!

And you I want strong

With your hatred intact

With your father's pipe

And your brother's bat

And your quaint belief

In holy authority



With your discipline

And your Darwin claws

And your legal eye

On the peacock's flaws

I see what fallen man

Was meant to be



With your absolute

No man can refute

Your absolutely unique

Contempt for the weak

Down on our paws

There are no laws

Kiss me where I can not speak



You I want strong

With your hatred intact

With your father's pipe

And your brother's bat

Now kiss me

Where I cannot speak!

You I want for my friend

To gossip with me and drink tea

To walk down by the river's bend

You I want for my friend



To watch the water going by

The swallows climbing above

To tell me that I lie

When I tell you I cannot love,

Cannot love



To know my heart better than me

To be my friend in charity

To speak of lovers old and new

To say to me, what they've done to you



You I want for my friend

To make some sense of our difference

To eat and drink together

To comfort one
