Came so Far for Beauty
Lyricist:Leonard Cohen, John Lissauer
I came so far for beauty I left so much behind My patience and my family My masterpiece unsigned
I thought I'd be rewarded For such a lonely choice And surely, she would answer To such a very hopeless voice
I practiced on my sainthood I gave to one and all But the rumours of my virtue They moved her not at all
Changed my style to silver Changed my clothes to black And where I would surrender And now I would attack
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I stormed the old casino For the money and the flesh And I myself decided What was rotten and what was fresh
Men to do my bidding And broken bones to teach The value of my pardon The shadow of my reach
But no, could not touch her With such a heavy hand Her star beyond my order Her nakedness unmanned
I came so far for beauty I left so much behind My patience and my family My masterpiece unsigned
