One Of Us Cannot By Wrong Leonard Cohen

I lit a thin green candle to make you jealous of me
But the room just filled up with mosquitoes
They heard that my body was free

Then I took the dust from a long and a sleepless night
And I, I put it in your little shoe
And then I confess that I tortured the dress
That you wore for the world to look through

I showed my heart to the doctor
He said, I just have to quit
Then he wrote himself a prescription
Your name was mentioned in it

Then he locked himself into a library shelf
Oh, with all of the details of our, our shabby honeymoon
And I hear from his nurse, she adds this, he gotten much worse
And his, his practice is fallen to ruin

And I heard of the saint who had loved you
I studied all night in his school
He taught that the duty of lovers
Is to tarnish the, the golden rule

And just when I was sure that his teachings were pure
He went and drowned himself in the pool
His body is gone, yeah but back here on the lawn
His spirit continues to drool
