“You whisper, "You have loved enough,
Now let me be the Lover."”
Leonard Cohen (1934–2016) Canadian poet and singer-songwriter
"You Have Loved Enough"
Ten New Songs (2001)
“"You have loved enough, now let me be the lover." You could say that God is speaking to you or the cosmos, or your lover. It just means, like, Forget it. Lean back and be loved by all that is already loving you. It is your effort at love that is preventing you from experiencing it. It is like if you ever taught kids how to swim. The most difficult thing is Goddam to understand that they will float, if they relax, if they hold their breath and relax, they will actually float. For most kids it is difficult to swim. They feel they are going to sink like a stone to the bottom of the lake.”
On the lyrics to "You Have Loved Enough" in an interview released at the Ten New Songs site (2001)
