YT: Back To Her Man - Homage to Leonard Cohen

Dear Leonard,

A few years ago I had the honour of opening up for you in Ireland. After the concert I noticed something curious. My mother, my sisters, my girlfriend and ex-girlfriend were ALL dripping with love for you. I found it humorous to imagine that after your show many women would be going back home and that their men were not, and would never quite be, Leonard Cohen. This song is about some of those imaginings.

Love,
Damien


The look of hunger in a woman with heat
Is enough to lift an old man from his knees
Like the piece of a puzzle
he's been lookin' for
He was leanin' to dyin'
now he's comin' back for more.

The look of a woman
when she gets you alone
You can't see what's comin'
but there's blood in your bones.
There's powder in your pocket
and ships in your sea
Well it doesn't often happen
but it happened to me.

Then she goes back to her man
Back to her man
Back to, back to her man.

There's a look of war in the way that you go
But the lead in your arrow is loose,
don't you know?
And all that you've got is lost in the game
Of picking your own pockets
for someone to blame.

There may be nothin' above the art of love
Depending on who you're dreaming of
And you can't escape
when it feels like rape
But who's raping who?

Then she goes back to her man
Back to her man
Back to, back to her man. (2x)

She don't love him
She don't love him no more
Love him, love him (2x)

She don't love her man
She don't love (2x)

She goes back to her man
Back her man
Back to, back to her man.
