  • Show me the place
    Where you want your slave to go
    Show me the place
    I've forgotten, I don't know
    Show me the place
    For my head is bending low
    Show me the place
    Where you want your slave to go

    Show me the place
    Help me roll away the stone
    Show me the place
    I can't move this thing alone
    Show me the place
    Where the Word became a man
    Show me the place
    Where the suffering began

    The troubles came
    I saved what I could save
    A thread of light
    A particle, a wave
    But there were chains
    So I hastened to behave
    There were chains
    So I loved you like a slave

    Show me the place
    Where you want your slave to go
    Show me the place
    I've forgotten, I don't know
    Show me the place
    For my head is bending low
    Show me the place
    Where you want your slave to go

    The troubles came
    I saved what I could save
    A thread of light
    A particle, a wave
    But there were chains
    So I hastened to behave
    There were chains
    So I loved you like a slave

    Show me the place
    Show me the place
    Show me the place

    Show me the place
    Help me roll away the stone
    Show me the place
    I can't move this thing alone
    Show me the place
    Where the Word became a man
    Show me the place
    Where the suffering began Writer/s: Leonard Cohen, Patrick Leonard
