A Voice in the Wilderness

As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there's a twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in such twilight that we must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness. -- William O.

I'm Your Man - Leonard Cohen



I'm Your Man
by Leonard Cohen

If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
and - if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
or - if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand -
I'm your man

If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
and - if you want a doctor
I'll examine every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
or - if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can -
I'm your man

ah, the moons too bright
The chains too tight
The beast won't go to sleep
I've been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep

ah, but a man never got a woman back

Not by begging on his knees
or - I'd crawl to you baby
and - I'd fall at your feet
and - I'd howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
and - I'd claw at your heart
and - I'd tear at your sheet
I'd say please, please -
I'm your man

and - if you've got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you
and - if you want to work the street alone
I'll disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
or - only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand -
I'm your man

If you want a lover
I'll do anything you that ask me to
and - if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
