Day 7 Leonard Cohen with Show Me the Place, 2012 on the album Old Ideas, 2012 It hit me hard last night. Hurricane Helene hit Florida in the US and a few WdC writers were caught in the middle. This song kinda reminded me of disaster and mayhem and suffering. Lyrics [Verse 1] Show me the place where you want your slave to go Show me the place, I've forgotten, I don't know Show me the place, for my head is bendin' low Show me the place where you want your slave to go [Verse 2] Show me the place, help me roll away the stone Show me the place, I can't move this thing alone Show me the place where the word became a man Show me the place where the suffering began [Bridge] The troubles came, I saved what I could save A thread of light, a particle, a wave But there were chains, so I hastened to behave There were chains, so I loved you like a slave [Verse 1] Show me the place where you want your slave to go Show me the place, I've forgotten, I don't know Show me the place, for my head is bendin' low Show me the place where you want your slave to go [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] The troubles came, I saved what I could save A thread of light, a particle, a wave But there were chains, so I hastened to behave There were chains, so I loved you like a slave [Verse 3] Show me the place Show me the place Show me the place Mmm, mmm [Verse 2] Show me the place, help me roll away the stone Show me the place, I can't move this thing alone Show me the place where the word became a man Show me the place where the suffering began |
