Cohen Leonard Iodine Lyrics

Iodine Lyrics

I needed you, I knew I was in danger
of losing what I used to think was
mine
You let me love you till I was a failure,
You let me love you till I
was a failure --
Your beauty on my bruise like iodine

I asked you if a
man could be forgiven
And though I failed at love, was this a crime?
You
said, Don't worry, don't worry, darling
You said, Don't worry, don't you
worry, darling
There are many ways a man can serve his time

You
covered up that place I could not master
It wasn't dark enough to shut my
eyes
So I was with you, O sweet compassion
Yes I was with you, O sweet
compassion
Compassion with the sting of iodine

Your saintly kisses
reeked of iodine
Your fragrance with a fume of iodine
And pity in the
room like iodine

Your sister fingers burned like iodine
And all my
wanton lust was iodine
My masquerade of trust was iodine
And everywhere
the flare of iodine
