[al:Songs of Love and Hate] [ar:Leonard Cohen] [ti:Avalanche] [0:0]欢迎访问 我爱音乐 [00:14.20]Artist: Cohen Leonard [00:20.98]Album: Songs Of Love And Hate [00:27.77]Title: Avalanche [00:34.56]Well I stepped into an avalanche, [00:39.82]it covered up my soul; [00:45.02]when I am not this hunchback that you see, [00:50.58]I sleep beneath the golden hill. [00:56.29]You who wish to conquer pain, [00:59.83]you must learn, learn to serve me well. [01:16.75]You strike my side by accident [01:22.05]as you go down for your gold. [01:27.46]The cripple here that you clothe and feed [01:32.67]is neither starved nor cold; [01:37.98]he does not ask for your company, [01:41.93]not at the centre, the centre of the world. [02:01.51]When I am on a pedestal, [02:06.81]you did not raise me there. [02:12.12]Your laws do not compel me [02:17.48]to kneel grotesque and bare. [02:23.24]I myself am the pedestal [02:26.69]for this ugly hump at which you stare. [02:46.62]You who wish to conquer pain, [02:50.43]you must learn what makes me kind; [02:56.53]the crumbs of love that you offer me, [03:00.89]they're the crumbs I've left behind. [03:07.50]Your pain is no credential here, [03:11.35]it's just the shadow, shadow of my wound. [03:25.72]I have begun to long for you, [03:31.38]I who have no greed; [03:36.44]I have begun to ask for you, [03:41.90]I who have no need. [03:47.10]You say you've gone away from me, [03:51.06]but I can feel you when you breathe. [04:08.48]Do not dress in those rags for me, [04:13.69]I know you are not poor; [04:18.90]you don't love me quite so fiercely now [04:22.95]when you know that you are not sure, [04:29.31]it is your turn, beloved, [04:33.51]it is your flesh that I wear. [04:53.02]
