"If I Could Help You" Leonard Cohen

If I could help you buddy, I would 

I really would 

I'd pray for you 

I'd make muscles appear on your back 

I'd take you to a bridge 

that people think is beautiful 

if there was the slightest chance 

that you'd like it 

I'd get you that motorcycle 

I'd put your songs on the jukebox 

if you were a singer 

I'd help you step across 

that crack in your life 

I'd die for you on the cross again 

I would do all these things for you 

because I'm the Lord of your life 

but you've gone so far from me 

that I've decided to embrace you here 

with my most elusive qualities 

You always wanted to be brave and true 

So breathe deeply now 

and begin your great adventure 

with crushing solitude
