One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong Lyrics - Cohen Leonard

I lit a thin green candle 

To make you jealous of me, 

But the room just filled up with mosquitoes 

They heard that my body was free 

Then I took the dust of a long sleepless night 

And I put it in your little shoe, 

Then I confess that I tortured the dress 

That you wore for the world to look through. 

I showed my heart to the doctor 

He said I'd just have to quit 

Then he wrote himself a prescription 

And your name was mentioned in it, 

Then he locked himself in a library shelf 

With the details of our honeymoon 

and I hear from the nurse that he's gotten much worse 

and his practice is all in a ruin. 

I heard of a saint who had loved you 

So I studied all night in his school 

He taught that the duty of lovers 

Is to tarnish the golden rule, 

And just when I was sure that his teachings were pure 

He drowned himself in the pool, 

His body is gone, but back here on the lawn 

His spirit continues to drool. 

An Eskimo showed me a movie 

He'd recently taken of you 

The poor man could hardly stop shivering, 

His lips and his fingers were blue 

I suppose that he froze when the wind took your clothes 

And I guess he just never got warm 

But you stand there so nice in your blizzard of ice 

O please let me come into the storm.
