Leonard Cohen- Love Itself

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.

Ill try to say a little more:

Love went on and on

Until it reached an open door c

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.

Ill try to say a little more:

Love went on and on

Until it reached an open door c

Then love itself

Love itself was gone.

Then I came back from where Id been.

My room, it looked the same c

But there was nothing left between

The 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.

Ill try to say a little more:

Love went on and on

Until it reached an open door c

Then love itself,

Love itself was gone.

Love itself was gone.
