Leonard Cohen - Dear Heather

There for You

When it all went down
And the pain came through
I get it now
I was there for you

Don't ask me how
I know it's true
I get it now
I was there for you

I make my plans
Like I always do
But when I look back
I was there for you

I walk the streets
Like I used to do
And I freeze with fear
But I'm there for you

I see my life
In full review
It was never me
It was always you

You sent me here
You sent me there
Breaking things
I can't repair

Making objects
Out of thought
Making more than
By thinking not

Eating food
And drinking wine
A body that
I thought was mine

Dressed as Arab
Dressed as Jew
O mask of iron
I was there for you

Moods of glory
Moods so foul
The world comes through
A bloody towel

And death is old
But it's always new
I freeze with fear
And I'm there for you

I see it clear
I always knew
It was never me
I was there for you

I was there for you
My darling one
And by your law
It all was done

Don't ask me how
I know it's true
I get it now
I was there for you

Don't ask me how
I know it's true
I get it now
I was there for you

Don't ask me how
I know it's true
I get it now
I was there for you

Don't ask me how
I know it's true
I get it now
I was there for you
