Leonard Cohen - Love itself

THE LIGHT CAME THROUGH THE WINDOW

Hoy es aniversario natal del desaparecido cantautor canadiense Leonard Cohen. Recordamos su voz acariciante con Love itself (Leonard Cohen / Sharon Robinson), hermosa balada sobre la volatilidad del amor incluida en su álbum Ten new songs (2001).

Love itself  (lyrics) 

The light came through the window
Straight from the sun above
And so inside my little room
There plunged the rays of love 
 
In streams of light I clearly saw 
The dust you seldom see 
Out of which the nameless makes 
A name for one like me 
 
I'll try to say a little more 
Love went on and on 
Until it reached an open door 
Then love itself, love itself was gone 
 
All busy in the sunlight 
The flecks did float and dance 
And I was tumbled up with them 
In formless circumstance 
 
I'll try to say a little more 
Love went on and on 
Until it reached an open door 
Then love itself, love itself was gone 
 
Then I came back from where I'd been 
My room, it looked the same 
But there was nothing left between 
The nameless and the name 
 
All busy in the sunlight 
The flecks did float and dance 
And I was tumbled up with them 
In formless circumstance 
 
I'll try to say a little more 
Oh love went on and on 
Until it reached an open door 
Then love itself, love itself was gone 
 
Love itself, love itself was gone
