Love Calls You by Your Name - Leonard Cohen

    You thought that it could never happen
    to all the people that you became,
    your body lost in legend, the beast so very tame
    But here, right here,
    between the birthmark and the stain,
    between the ocean and your open vein,
    between the snowman and the rain,
    once again, once again,
    love calls you by your name

    The women in your scrapbook
    whom you still praise and blame,
    you say they chained you to your fingernails
    and you climb the halls of fame
    Oh but here, right here,
    between the peanuts and the cage,
    between the darkness and the stage,
    between the hour and the age,
    once again, once again,
    love calls you by your name

    Shouldering your loneliness
    like a gun that you will not learn to aim,
    you stumble into this movie house,
    then you climb, you climb into the frame
    Yes, and here, right here
    between the moonlight and the lane,
    between the tunnel and the train,
    between the victim and his stain,
    once again, once again,
    love calls you by your name

    I leave the lady meditating
    on the very love which I, I do not wish to claim,
    I journey down the hundred steps,
    but the street is still the very same
    And here, right here,
    between the dancer and his cane,
    between the sailboat and the drain,
    between the newsreel and your tiny pain,
    once again, once again,
    love calls you by your name

    Where are you, Judy, where are you, Anne?
    Where are the paths your heroes came?
    Wondering out loud as the bandage pulls away,
    was I, was I only limping, was I really lame?
    Oh here, come over here,
    between the windmill and the grain,
    between the sundial and the chain,
    between the traitor and her pain,
    once again, once again,
    love calls you by your name
