I`ve Counted What I Have

<br>(Written By Cohen, Performed In "Night Magic")<br><br>(Michael) I`ve counted what I have; it`s not enough<br>And what I need I do not dare to say.<br>I`ve heard the soul is diamond in the rough<br>That pain must polish it to a bright display;<br>But mine is diamond dust that`s blown away.<br><br>(Angels) I`ve counted what I have; it`s not enough<br>And what I need I do not dare to say.<br>I`ve heard the soul is diamond in the rough<br>That pain must polish it to a bright display;<br>But mine is diamond dust that`s blown away.<br><br>(Michael) And covered up the world with glittering --<br>Come back my soul, I cry, it won`t obey,<br>And I`m the empty shape of everything ...<br>Come back my soul, come back to me I sing.<br><br>I`m sick with greed, with unrequited greed<br>And everyman becomes my enemy.<br>I need his woman, his career I need<br>For what he has, he`s taken it from me<br>And what is mine he uses clumsily.<br>That pagan there pretending he can dance,<br>This Christian peddling his humility,<br>These carbons of Hitlerian romance,<br>These lovers photographed without their pants.<br><br>(Frank, Louis & Then, Doubt, sloppy mother mistress that you<br>Jean-Marc) Can`t get rid of, who loves you more the more<br>You turn away, whose perfume`s pity, who<br>Isn`t feeling well, whose shoulder`s sore --<br>Doubt comes generous as a dinosaur.<br><br>(Doubt) O love forget this metaphysic bit<br>About the lost world and the grieving heart<br>You really can`t believe is haunting it;<br>While you brood here, other lovers part<br>Their lips, prettier than you, and just as smart.<br><br>(F, L & J-M) Doubt has all the reasons why you have to fail<br>And you agree, you`ve heard them all before.<br>Her heart is broken and her breath is stale<br>And you say, Tell me more my nightingale.<br><br>(Doubt) Give up your conquering plan, give up your plan.<br>Time makes a choir of our lonely art<br>And women know that since the world began<br>There never was, there is no leading man!<br><br>(F, L & J-M) Oo tell me more my nightingale.<br><br>(Doubt & Pinky) And women know that since the world began<br>There never was, there is no leading man.<br><br>(Michael) I`ve counted what I have; it`s not enough.<br>And women know that since the world began<br>There never was, there is no leading man.<br><br>(F, L & J-M) Tell me more my nightingale.<br><br>(Doubt & Pinky) There`s no leading man - no leading man!
