Well I stepped into an avalanche, it covered up my soul; when I am not this hunchback that you see, I sleep beneath the golden hills You who wish to conquer pain, you must learn, learn to serve me well. You strike my side by accident as you go down for your gold The crippled here that you clothe and feed is neither starved nor cold He does not ask for your company, not at the center, the centre of the world. When I am on a pedestal, you did not raise me there. Your laws do not compel me to kneel grotesque and bare I myself am the pedestal for this ugly hump at which you stare You who wish to conquer pain, you must learn what makes me kind the crumbs of love that you offer me, they're the crumbs I've left behind. Your pain is no credential here, it's just the shadow, shadow of my wound I have begun to long for you, I who have no greed I have begun to ask for you, I who have no need You say you've gone away from me, but I can feel you when you breathe Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by halkier77 better than the origional.. love it 2020-08-01T10:10:47Z Comment by Lakshmi Amrita (Chuchi) so beautiful, I love your voice <3 2019-01-16T13:55:44Z Comment by TFMusic-1 Fantastic cover of a wonderful song...would love to hear a version on ‘Last Year’s Man’ 😁 2018-12-29T00:43:19Z Comment by Nothing Else...
