Brickworks 1 (Parts II-IV) lyrics

by

Leonard Cohen


-Brickwork Part II (This Heart of Mine)-

I lie awake watching your shoulders
Move so softly as you breathe
With every breath you're growing older

But that is fine if you're with me

I pledge to wake you with a smile
I pledge to hold you when you cry
I pledge to love you till I die
Till I die

The rays of dawn play on your eyelids
A sleeping beauty dressed in sun
This bed is all, this room eternal
A world persisting when we're long since gone

I will wake you with a smile
I will hold yo when you cry
I will love you till I die
Till I die

-Brickwork Part III (Song for the Innocent)-

This world is what we can give
Scarred from the way we lived
All those dreams we shared for you
How I wish they could come true
We dreamed of a world in peace
But killed for a life of ease
Now we leave the wounds for you
What else can the dying do?

-Brickwork Part IV (Descend 1)-

Their ugly truth outnumbered by far
Her beautiful life and we close our eyes

Were her eyes in yours already when we met?
Am I still paying debts to recover life?
