Lyr. Add: SHOW ME THE PLACE
Leonard Cohen

Show me the place, where you want your slave to go
Show me the place, I've forgotten I don't know
Show me the place for my head is bending low
Show me the place where you want your slave to go.
2
Show me the place, help me roll away the stone
Show me the place, I can't move this thing alone
Show me the place where the word became a man
Show me the place where the suffering began.
3
The troubles came, I saved what I could save
A thread of light, a particle, a wave
But there were chains so I hastened to behave
There were chains, so I loved you like a slave.

Show me the place, where you want your slave to go
Show me the place, I've forgotten, I don't know
Show me the place for my head is bending low
Show me the place where you want your slave to go.
5
The troubles came, I saved what I could save
A thread of light, a particle, a wave
But there were chains so I hastened to behave
There were chains so I loved you like a slave.

One comment was that the "lyrics are Eucharistic for me."

To me, Cohen's words seem to have multiple meanings; explanations are not simple.

"for my head is bending low" was a comment I frequently heard from my grandmother when things piled up, and also heard from my wife's relatives (Southern). Perhaps the Foster song was the origin of the phrase, but the expression may be older.
