Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları A Bunch Of Lonesome Heroes A bunch of lonesome and very quarrelsome heroes Were smoking out along the open road; The night was very dark and thick between them, Each man beneath his ordinary load. "I'd like to tell my story," Said one of them so young and bold, "I'd like to tell my story, Before I turn into gold." But no one really could hear him, The night so dark and thick and green; Well I guess that these heroes must always live there Where you and I have only been. Put out your cigarette, my love, You've been alone too long; And some of us are very hungry now To hear what it is you've done that was so wrong. I sing this for the crickets, I sing this for the army, I sing this for your children And for all who do not need me. "I'd like to tell my story," Said one of them so bold, "Oh yes, I'd like to tell my story 'Cause you know I feel I'm turning into gold." Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları A Partisan When they poured across the border I was cautioned to surrender, this I could not do; I took my gun and vanished. I have changed my name so often, I've lost my wife and children but I have many friends, and some of them are with me. An old woman gave us shelter, kept us hidden in the garret, then the soldiers came; she died without a whisper. There were three of us this morning I'm the only one this evening but I must go on; the frontiers are my prison. Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing, through the graves the wind is blowing, freedom soon will come; then we'll come from the shadows. Les Allemands étaient chez moi, ils me disent, "résigne toi," mais je n'ai pas peur; j'ai repris mon arme. J'ai changé cent fois de nom, j'ai perdu femme et enfants mais j'ai tant d'amis; j'ai la France entière. Un vieil homme dans un grenier pour la nuit nous a caché, les Allemands l'ont pris; il est mort sans surprise. [The Germans were at my home They said, "Surrender yourself" But I am not afraid I have retaken my weapon I have changed names a hundred times I have lost wife and children But I have so many friends I have all of France An old man, in an attic Hid us for the night The Germans captured him He died without surprise.] Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing, through the graves the wind is blowing, freedom soon will come; then we'll come from the shadows.

Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları A Singer Must Die Now the courtroom is quiet, but who will confess. Is it true you betrayed us? The answer is Yes. Then read me the list of the crimes that are mine, I will ask for the mercy that you love to decline. And all the ladies go moist, and the judge has no choice, A singer must die for the lie in his voice. And I thank you, I thank you for doing your duty, You keepers of truth, you guardians of beauty. Your vision is right, my vision is wrong, I'm sorry for smudging the air with my song. Oh, the night it is thick, my defences are hid In the clothes of a woman I would like to forgive, In the rings of her silk, in the hinge of her thighs, Where I have to go begging in beauty's disguise. Oh goodnight, goodnight, my night after night, My night after night, after night, after night, after night, after night. I am so afraid that I listen to you, Your sun glassed protectors they do that to you. It's their ways to detain, their ways to disgrace, Their knee in your balls and their fist in your face. Yes and long live the state by whoever it's made, Sir, I didn't see nothing, I was just getting home late. Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları A Thousand Kisses Deep The ponies run, the girls are young, The odds are there to beat. You win a while, and then it's done – Your little winning streak. And summoned now to deal With your invincible defeat, You live your life as if it's real, A Thousand Kisses Deep. I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed, I'm back on Boogie Street. You lose your grip, and then you slip Into the Masterpiece. And maybe I had miles to drive, And promises to keep: You ditch it all to stay alive, A Thousand Kisses Deep. And sometimes when the night is slow, The wretched and the meek, We gather up our hearts and go, A Thousand Kisses Deep. Confined to sex, we pressed against The limits of the sea: I saw there were no oceans left For scavengers like me. I made it to the forward deck. I blessed our remnant fleet – And then consented to be wrecked, A Thousand Kisses Deep. I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed, I'm back on Boogie Street. I guess they won't exchange the gifts That you were meant to keep. And quiet is the thought of you, The file on you complete, Except what we forgot to do, A Thousand Kisses Deep. And sometimes when the night is slow, The wretched and the meek, We gather up our hearts and go, A Thousand Kisses Deep. The ponies run, the girls are young, The odds are there to beat...

Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Ain't No Cure For Love I loved you for a long, long time I know this love is real It don't matter how it all went wrong That don't change the way I feel And I can't believe that time's Gonna heal this wound I'm speaking of There ain't no cure, There ain't no cure, There ain't no cure for love I'm aching for you baby I can't pretend I'm not I need to see you naked In your body and your thought I've got you like a habit And I'll never get enough There ain't no cure, There ain't no cure, There ain't no cure for love There ain't no cure for love There ain't no cure for love All the rocket ships are climbing through the sky The holy books are open wide The doctors working day and night But they'll never ever find that cure for love There ain't no drink no drug (Ah tell them, angels) There's nothing pure enough to be a cure for love I see you in the subway and I see you on the bus I see you lying down with me, I see you waking up I see your hand, I see your hair Your bracelets and your brush And I call to you, I call to you But I don't call soft enough There ain't no cure, There ain't no cure, There ain't no cure for love I walked into this empty church I had no place else to go When the sweetest voice I ever heard, whispered to my soul I don't need to be forgiven for loving you so much It's written in the scriptures It's written there in blood I even heard the angels declare it from above There ain't no cure, There ain't no cure, There ain't no cure for love There ain't no cure for love There ain't no cure for love All the rocket ships are climbing through the sky The holy books are open wide The doctors working day and night But they'll never ever find that cure, That cure for love Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Alexandra Leaving Suddenly the night has grown colder. The god of love preparing to depart. Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder, They slip between the sentries of the heart. Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure, They gain the light, they formlessly entwine; And radiant beyond your widest measure They fall among the voices and the wine. It's not a trick, your senses all deceiving, A fitful dream, the morning will exhaust – Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving. Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost. Even though she sleeps upon your satin; Even though she wakes you with a kiss. Do not say the moment was imagined; Do not stoop to strategies like this. As someone long prepared for this to happen, Go firmly to the window. Drink it in. Exquisite music. Alexandra laughing. Your firm commitments tangible again. And you who had the honor of her evening, And by the honor had your own restored – Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving; Alexandra leaving with her lord. Even though she sleeps upon your satin; Even though she wakes you with a kiss. Do not say the moment was imagined; Do not stoop to strategies like this. As someone long prepared for the occasion; In full command of every plan you wrecked – Do not choose a coward's explanation that hides behind the cause and the effect. And you who were bewildered by a meaning; Whose code was broken, crucifix uncrossed – Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving. Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost. Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving. Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost. Leonard Cohen |

If you're in love with somebody, these are the words that you got to learn to say. Now listen carefully. Here it comes...) I'll be loving you always with a love that's true, always When the thing you've planned needs my helping hand, I will understand, always, always Days may not be fair, always Yeah but that's when I'll be there, always Not for just an hour, Not for just a day, Not for just a year, but always. I said that I'll be loving you, always with a love that's true, always. When the thing you've planned needs my helping hand, I will, I will understand, always, always (Oh that's pretty ... that's pretty too ... Oh darling) The days may not be fair, always Yeah but that's when I'll be there, always Not for just a second, or a minute, or an hour, Not for just a weekend and a shake down in the shower, Not for just the summer and the winter going sour, But always, always, always (Ok if you don't want to quit, let's try it one more time) I'll be loving you, always with a love that's true, always. When the thing you've planned needs my helping hand, I will understand, I will, I will understand, always, always The days may not be fair, always (Don't worry, baby) That's when I'll be there, always Not for just an hour, Not for just a day, Not for just a year, but always.

Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Anthem The birds they sang At the break of day Start again I heard them say Don't dwell on what Has passed away Or what is yet to be. Ah the wars they will Be fought again The holy dove She will be caught again Bought and sold And bought again The dove is never free. Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack in everything That's how the light gets in. We asked for signs The signs were sent: The birth betrayed The marriage spent Yeah the widowhood Of every government Signs for all to see. I can't run no more With that lawless crowd While the killers in high places Say their prayers out loud. But they've summoned, they've summoned up A thundercloud And they're going to hear from me. Ring the bells that still can ring You can add up the parts But you won't have the sum You can strike up the march, There is no drum Every heart, every heart To love will come But like a refugee. Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack, a crack in everything That's how the light gets in. Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack, a crack in everything That's how the light gets in. That's how the light gets in. That's how the light gets in.

Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Avalanche 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 hill. 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 cripple here that you clothe and feed Is neither starved nor cold; He does not ask for your company, Not at the centre, 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. Do not dress in those rags for me, I know you are not poor; You don't love me quite so fiercely now When you know that you are not sure, It is your turn, beloved, It is your flesh that I wear. Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Ballad Of The Absent Mare Say a prayer for the cowboy His mare's run away And he'll walk til he finds her His darling, his stray But the river's in flood And the roads are awash And the bridges break up In the panic of loss. And there's nothing to follow There's nowhere to go She's gone like the summer Gone like the snow And the crickets are breaking His heart with their song As the day caves in And the night is all wrong Did he dream, was it she Who went galloping past And bent down the fern Broke open the grass And printed the mud with The iron and the gold That he nailed to her feet When he was the lord And although she goes grazing A minute away He tracks her all night He tracks her all day Oh blind to her presence Except to compare His injury here With her punishment there Then at home on a branch In the highest tree A songbird sings out So suddenly Ah the sun is warm And the soft winds ride On the willow trees By the river side Oh the world is sweet The world is wide And she's there where The light and the darkness divide And the steam's coming off her She's huge and she's shy And she steps on the moon When she paws at the sky And she comes to his hand But she's not really tame She longs to be lost He longs for the same And she'll bolt and she'll plunge Through the first open pass To roll and to feed In the sweet mountain grass Or she'll make a break For the high plateau Where there's nothing above And there's nothing below And it's time for the burden It's time for the whip Will she walk through the flame Can he shoot from the hip So he binds himself To the galloping mare And she binds herself To the rider there And there is no space But there's left and right And there is no time But there's day and night And he leans on her neck And he whispers low "Whither thou goest I will go" And they turn as one And they head for the plain No need for the whip Ah, no need for the rein Now the clasp of this union Who fastens it tight? Who snaps it asunder The very next night Some say the rider Some say the mare Or that love's like the smoke Beyond all repair But my darling says "Leonard, just let it go by That old silhouette On the great western sky" So I pick out a tune And they move right along And they're gone like the smoke And they're gone like this song Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Be For Real Are you back in my life to stay Or is it just for today Oh that you're gonna need me? If it's a thrill you're looking for Honey, I'm flexible. Oh, yeah. Just be for real won't you, Baby Be for real oh, Baby You see I, I don't want to be hurt by love again So you see I'm not naive. I just would like to believe Ah what you tell me. So don't give me the world today And tomorrow take it away. Don't do that to me, darling. Just be for real won't you, Baby Be for real won't you, Baby Been hurt so many times You see I, I don't want to be hurt by love again. (I don't give a damn about the truth, Baby Except for the naked truth. Oh yeah) Just be for real won't you, Baby Be for real won't you, Baby No, no, no, no It's just that I, I don't want to be hurt by love again. Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Because Of Because of a few songs Wherein I spoke of their mystery, Women have been Exceptionally kind to my old age. They make a secret place In their busy lives And they take me there. They become naked In their different ways and they say, "Look at me, Leonard Look at me one last time." Then they bend over the bed And cover me up Like a baby that is shivering. Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Bird On The Wire Like a bird on the wire, Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free. Like a worm on a hook, Like a knight from some old fashioned book I have saved all my ribbons for thee. If I, if I have been unkind, I hope that you can just let it go by. If I, if I have been untrue I hope you know it was never to you. Like a baby, stillborn, Like a beast with his horn I have torn everyone who reached out for me. But I swear by this song And by all that I have done wrong I will make it all up to thee. I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch, He said to me, "You must not ask for so much." And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door, She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?" Oh like a bird on the wire, Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free. Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Boogie Street O Crown of Light, O Darkened One, I never thought we'd meet. You kiss my lips, and then it's done: I'm back on Boogie Street. A sip of wine, a cigarette, And then it's time to go. I tidied up the kitchenette; I tuned the old banjo. I'm wanted at the traffic-jam. They're saving me a seat. I'm what I am, and what I am, Is back on Boogie Street. And O my love, I still recall The pleasures that we knew; The rivers and the waterfall, Wherein I bathed with you. Bewildered by your beauty there, I'd kneel to dry your feet. By such instructions you prepare A man for Boogie Street. O Crown of Light, O Darkened One… So come, my friends, be not afraid. We are so lightly here. It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear. Tho' all the maps of blood and flesh Are posted on the door, There's no one who has told us yet What Boogie Street is for. O Crown of Light, O Darkened One, I never thought we'd meet. You kiss my lips, and then it's done: I'm back on Boogie Street. A sip of wine, a cigarette, And then it's time to go... Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları By The Rivers Dark By the rivers dark I wandered on. I lived my life in Babylon. And I did forget My holy song: And I had no strength In Babylon. By the rivers dark Where I could not see Who was waiting there Who was hunting me. And he cut my lip And he cut my heart. So I could not drink From the river dark. And he covered me, And I saw within, My lawless heart And my wedding ring, I did not know And I could not see Who was waiting there, Who was hunting me. By the rivers dark I panicked on. I belonged at last to Babylon. Then he struck my heart With a deadly force, And he said, 'This heart: It is not yours. And he gave the wind My wedding ring; And he circled us With everything. By the rivers dark, In a wounded dawn, I live my life In Babylon. Though I take my song From a withered limb, Both song and tree, They sing for him. Be the truth unsaid And the blessing gone, If Ihttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgforget My Babylon. I did not know And I could not see Who was waiting there, Who was hunting me. By the rivers dark, Where it all goes on; By the rivers dark In Babylon. Leonard Cohen |

Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Chelsea Hotel I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, You were talking so brave and so sweet, Giving me head on the unmade bed, While the limousines wait in the street. Those were the reasons and that was New York, We were running for the money and the flesh. And that was called love for the workers in song Probably still is for those of them left. Ah but you got away, didn't you babe, You just turned your back on the crowd, You got away, I never once heard you say, I need you, I don't need you, I need you, I don't need you And all of that jiving around. I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel You were famous, your heart was a legend. You told me again you preferred handsome men But for me you would make an exception. And clenchinghttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgyour fist for the ones like us Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty, You fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind, We are ugly but we have the music." And then you got away, didn't you babe... I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best, I can't keep track of each fallen robin. I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, That's all, I don't even think of you that often. Leonard Cohen |

Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Death Of A Ladies' Man Ah the man she wanted all her life was hanging by a thread "I never even knew how much I wanted you," she said. His muscles they were numbered and his style was obsolete. "O baby, I have come too late." She knelt beside his feet. "I'll never see a face like yours in years of men to come I'll never see such arms again in wrestling or in love." And all his virtues burning in the smoky Holocaust She took unto herself most everything her lover lost Now the master of this landscape he was standing at the view With a sparrow of St. Francis that he was preaching to She beckoned to the sentry of his high religious mood She said, "I'll make a place between my legs, I'll show you solitude." He offered her an orgy in a many mirrored room He promised her protection for the issue of her womb She moved her body hard against a sharpened metal spoon She stopped the bloody rituals of passage to the moon She took his much admired oriental frame of mind And the heart-of-darkness alibi his money hides behind She took his blonde madonna and his monastery wine "This mental space is occupied and everything is mine." He tried to make a final stand beside the railway track She said, "The art of longing's over and it's never coming back." She took his tavern parliament, his cap, his cocky dance, she mocked his female fashions and his working-class moustache. The last time that I saw him he was trying hard to get A woman's education but he's not a woman yet And the last time that I saw her she was living with some boy Who gives her soul an empty room and gives her body joy. So the great affair is over but whoever would have guessed It would leave us all so vacant and so deeply unimpressed It's like our visithttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgto the moon or to that other star I guess you go for nothing if you really want to go that far. It's like our visit to the moon or to that other star I guess you go for nothing if you really want to go that far.

Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Democracy It's coming through a hole in the air, From those nights in Tiananmen Square. It's coming from the feel That this ain't exactly real, Or it's real, but it ain't exactly there. From the wars against disorder, From the sirens night and day, From the fires of the homeless, From the ashes of the gay: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. It's coming through a crack in the wall; On a visionary flood of alcohol; From the staggering account Of the Sermon on the Mount Which I don't pretend to understand at all. It's coming from the silence On the dock of the bay, From the brave, the bold, the battered Heart of Chevrolet: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. It's coming from the sorrow in the street, The holy places where the races meet; From the homicidal bitchinThat goes down in every kitchen To determine who will serve and who will eat. From the wells of disappointment Where the women kneel to pray For the grace of God in the desert here And the desert far away: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. Sail on, sail on O mighty Ship of State! To the Shores of Need Past the Reefs of Greed Through the Squalls of Hate Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on. It's coming to America first, The cradle of the best and of the worst. It's here they got the range And the machinery for change And it's here they got the spiritual thirst. It's here the family's broken And it's here the lonely say That the heart has got to open In a fundamental way: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. It's coming from the women and the men. O baby, we'll be making love again. We'll be going down so deep The river's going to weep, And the mountain's going to shout Amen! It's coming like the tidal flood Beneath the lunar sway, Imperial, mysterious, In amorous array: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. Sail on, sail on ... I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean I love the country but I can't stand the scene. And I'mhttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgneither left or right I'm just staying home tonight, Getting lost in that hopeless little screen. But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags That Time cannot decay, I'm junk but I'm still holding up This little wild bouquet: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Diamonds In The Mine The woman in blue, she's asking for revenge, The man in white - that's you - says he has no friends. The river is swollen up with rusty cans And the trees are burning in your promised land. And there are no letters in the mailbox, And there are no grapes upon the vine, And there are no chocolates in the boxes anymore, And there are no diamonds in the mine. Well, you tell me that your lover has a broken limb, You say you're kind of restless now and it's on account of him. Well, I saw the man in question, it was just the other night, He was eating up a lady where the lions and Christians fight. And there are no letters in the mailbox And there are no grapes upon the vine, And there are no chocolates in the boxes anymore, And there are no diamonds in the mine. (You tell them now) Ah, there is no comfort in the covens of the witch, Some very clever doctor went and sterilized the bitch, And the only man ofhttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgenergy, yes the revolution's pride, He trained a hundred women just to kill an unborn child. And there are no letters in the mailbox, Oh no, there are no, no grapes upon your vine, And there are, there are no chocolates in your boxes anymore, And there are no diamonds in your mine. And there are no letters in the mailbox, And there are no grapes upon the vine, And there are no chocolates in your boxes anymore, And there are no diamonds in your mine. Leonard Cohen |

Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Famous Blue Raincoat It's four in the morning, the end of December I'm writing you now just to see if you're better New York is cold, but I like where I'm living There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening. I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record. Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair She said that you gave it to her That night that you planned to go clear Did you ever go clear? Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder You'd been to the station to meet every train And you came home without Lili Marlene And you treated my woman to a flake of your life And when she came back she was nobody's wife. Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth One more thin gypsy thief Well I see Jane's awake She sends her regards. And what can I tell you my brother, my killer What can I possibly say? I guesshttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgthat I miss you, I guess I forgive you I'm glad you stood in my way. If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free. Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes I thought it was there for good so I never tried. And Jane came by with a lock of your hair She said that you gave it to her That night that you planned to go clear Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Field Commander Cohen Field Commander Cohen, he was our most important spy. Wounded in the line of duty, Parachuting acid into diplomatic cocktail parties, Urging Fidel Castro to abandon fields and castles. Leave it all and like a man, Come back to nothing special, Such as waiting rooms and ticket lines, Silver bullet suicides, And messianic ocean tides, And racial roller-coaster rides And other forms of boredom advertised as poetry. I know you need your sleep now, I know your life's been hard. But many men are falling, Where you promised to stand guard. I never asked but I heard you cast your lot along with the poor. But then I overheard your prayer, That you be thishttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgand nothing more Than just some grateful faithful woman's favourite singing millionaire, The patron Saint of envy and the grocer of despair, Working for the Yankee Dollar. I know you need your sleep now ... Ah, lover come and lie with me, if my lover is who you are, And be your sweetest self awhile until I ask for more, my child. Then let the other selves be wrong, yeah, let them manifest and come Till every taste is on the tongue, Till love is pierced and love is hung, And every kind of freedom done, then oh, Oh my love, oh my love, oh my love, Oh my love, oh my love, oh my love.

Yeah I thought I'd leave this morning So I emptied out your drawer A hundred thousand fingerprints They floated to the floor You know you hardly stopped to pick them up You don't care what you lose Ah you don't even seem to know Whose fingerprints are whose Fingerprints, fingerprints Where are you now my fingerprints? And now you want to marry me You want to take me down the aisle You want to throw confetti fingerprints You know that's not my style O sure I'd like to marry you But I can't face the dawn With anyhttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpggirl who knew me When my fingerprints were on Fingerprints, fingerprints Where are you now my fingerprints?

And look dear heart, look at the virgin Look how she welcomes him into her gown Yes, and mark how the stranger's cold armour Dissolves likehttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpga star falling down Why trade this vision for desire When you may have them both You will never see a man this naked I will never hold a woman this close And you say you've been humbled in love...
