Winter Lady - The Songs of Leonard Cohen
Traveling lady stay awhile Until the night is over I’m just a station on your way I know I am not your lover. Well, I lived with a child of snow When I was a soldier And I fought every man for her Until the nights grew colder. She used to wear her hair like […]
I loved you in the morning Our kisses deep and warm, Your head upon the pillow Like a sleepy golden Strom. Yes, many loved before us I know that we are not new, In city and in forest They smiled like me and you, But now it’s come to distances And both of us must […]
Come over to the window, my little darling, I’d like to try to read you palm I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boy Before I let you take me home. Chorus: So long Marianne, it’s time that we began to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again […]

Suzanne - The Songs of Leonard Cohen

It’s true that all the men you knew were dealers who said they were through with dealing Every time you gave them shelter I know that kind of man It’s hard to hold the hand of anyone who is reaching for the sky just to surrender. And then sweeping up the jokers that he left […]
