Love Itself

Leonard Cohen · Ten New Songs · 2001 · 5:22

Lyrics

The light came through the window Straight from the sun above And so inside my little room There plunged the rays of love In streams of light I clearly saw The dust you seldom see Out of which the nameless makes A name for one like me I'll try to say a little more Love went on and on Until it reached an open door – Then love itself Love itself was gone All busy in the sunlight The flecks did float and dance And I was tumbled up with them In formless circumstance I'll try to say a little more Love went on and on Until it reached an open door – Then love itself Love itself was gone Then I came back from where I'd been My room, it looked the same – But there was nothing left between The nameless and the name (Nameless and the name) All busy in the sunlight The flecks did float and dance And I was tumbled up with them In formless circumstance I'll try to say a little more Love went on and on Until it reached an open door – Then love itself Love itself was gone Love itself Love itself was gone
