Lover, Lover, Lover (Live Sept 24, 2009|Ramat Gan Stadium, Tel Aviv, Israel) - Leonard Cohen

I asked my father

I said "Father change my name"

The one I'm using now it's covered up

With fear and filth and cowardice and shame

Ah but lover lover lover lover

Lover lover lover come back to me

Yes and lover lover lover lover

Lover lover lover come back to me

He said "I locked you in this body

I meant it as a kind of trial

You can use it for a weapon

Or to make a woman smile"

Ah but lover lover lover lover

Lover lover lover come back to me

Yes and lover lover lover lover

Lover lover lover come back to me

"Then let me start again " I cried

Oh please let me start again

I want a face that's fair this time

I want a spirit that is calm

Ah but lover lover lover lover

Lover lover lover come back to me

Yes and lover lover lover lover

Lover lover lover come back to me

"I never turned aside " I said

Oh I I never ever walked away

It was you who built the temple

It was you who covered up my face

Ah but lover lover lover lover

Lover lover lover come back to me

Yes and lover lover lover lover

Lover lover lover come back to me

You may come to me in happiness

Or you may come to me in grief

You may come to me in your deepest faith

Or you may come in disbelief

Ah but lover lover lover lover

Lover lover lover come back to me oh

Yes and lover lover lover lover

Lover lover lover come back to me

And may the spirit of this song

May it rise up pure and free

May it be a shield for all of you

A shield against the enemy

Ah but lover lover lover lover

Lover lover lover come back to me

Yes and lover lover lover lover

Lover lover lover come back to me

Yes and lover lover lover lover

Lover lover lover come back to me oh

Yes and lover lover lover lover

Lover lover lover come back to me
