Leonard Cohen Lyrics

Album: Dear Heather

There For You Lyrics

When it all went down

 And the pain came through

 I get it now

 I was there for you

 Don't ask me how

 I know it's true

 I get it now

 I was there for you

 I make my plans

 Like I always do

 But when I look back

 I was there for you

 I walk the streets

 Like I used to do

 And I freeze with fear

 But I'm there for you

 I see my life

 In full review

 It was never me

 It was always you

 You sent me here

 You sent me there

 Breaking things

 I can't repair

 Making objects

 Out of thoughts

 Making more

 By thinking not

 Eating food

 And drinking wine

 A body that

 I thought was mine

 Dressed as Arab

 Dressed as Jew

 O mask of iron

 I was there for you

 Moods of glory

 Moods so foul

 The world comes through

 A bloody towel

 And death is old

 But it's always new

 I freeze with fear

 And I'm there for you

 I see it clear

 I always knew

 It was never me

 I was there for you

 I was there for you

 My darling one

 And by your law

 It all was done
