Leonard Cohen - Master Song Lyrics

I believe that you heard your master sing
When I was sick in bed
I suppose that he told you everything
That I keep locked away in my head

But the room just filled up with mosquitoes
They heard that my body was free
Then I took the dust from a long and a sleepless night

Yes, one hand on my suicide, one hand on the rose

Who said they were through with dealing
Every time you gave them shelter
I know that kind of man

Until the night is over
I'm just a station on your way
I know I'm not your lover
