Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları In My Secret Life I saw you this morning. You were moving so fast. Can't seem to loosen my grip On the past. And I miss you so much. There's no one in sight. And we're still making love In My Secret Life. I smile when I'm angry. I cheat and I lie. I do what I have to do To get by. But I know what is wrong, And I know what is right. And I'd die for the truth In My Secret Life. Hold on, hold on, my brother. My sister, hold on tight. I finally got my orders. I'll be marching through the morning, Marching through the night, Moving cross the borders Of My Secret Life. Looked through the paper. Makes you want to cry. Nobody cares if the people Live or die. And the dealer wants you thinking That it'shttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgeither black or white. Thank G-d it's not that simple In My Secret Life. I bite my lip. I buy what I'm told: From the latest hit, To the wisdom of old. But I'm always alone. And my heart is like ice. And it's crowded and cold In My Secret Life. Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Iodine I needed you, I knew I was in danger Of losing what I used to think was mine You let me love you till I was a failure, You let me love you till I was a failure Your beauty on my bruise like iodine I asked you if a man could be forgiven And though I failed at love, was this a crime? You said, Don't worry, don't worry, darling You said, Don't worry, don't you worry, darling There are many ways a man can serve his time You covered up that place I could not master It wasn't dark enough to shut my eyes So I was with you, O sweet compassion Yes I washttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgwith you, O sweet compassion Compassion with the sting of iodine Your saintly kisses reeked of iodine Your fragrance with a fume of iodine And pity in the room like iodine Your sister fingers burned like iodine And all my wanton lust was iodine My masquerade of trust was iodine And everywhere the flare of iodine Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Is This What You Wanted You were the promise at dawn, I was the morning after. You were Jesus Christ my Lord, I was the money lender. You were the sensitive woman, I was the very reverend Freud. You were the manual orgasm, I was the dirty little boy. And is this what you wanted To live in a house that is haunted By the ghost of you and me? Is this what you wanted... You were Marlon Brando, I was Steve McQueen. You were K.Y. Jelly, I was Vaseline. You were the father of modern medicine, I was Mr. Clean. You where the whore and the beast of Babylon, I was Rin Tin Tin. And is this what you wanted... And is this what you wanted... You got old and wrinkled, I stayed seventeen. You lusted after so many, I lay here with one. You defied your solitude, I camehttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgthrough alone. You said you could never love me, I undid your gown. And is this what you wanted... And is this what you wanted... I mean is this what you wanted... That's right, is this what you wanted...

Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Joan Of Arc Now the flames they followed Joan of Arc As she came riding through the dark; No moon to keep her armour bright, No man to get her through this very smoky night. She said, "I'm tired of the war, I want the kind of work I had before, A wedding dress or something white To wear upon my swollen appetite." Well, I'm glad to hear you talk this way, You know I've watched you riding every day And something in me yearns to win Such a cold and lonesome heroine. "And who are you?" she sternly spoke To the one beneath the smoke. "Why, I'm fire," he replied, "And I love your solitude, I love your pride." "Then fire, make your body cold, I'm going to give you mine to hold," Saying this she climbed inside To be his one, to be his only bride. And deep into his fiery heart He took the dust of Joan of Arc, And highhttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgabove the wedding guests He hung the ashes of her wedding dress. It was deep into his fiery heart He took the dust of Joan of Arc, And then she clearly understood If he was fire, oh then she must be wood. I saw her wince, I saw her cry, I saw the glory in her eye. Myself I long for love and light, But must it come so cruel, and oh so bright? Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Lady Midnight I came by myself to a very crowded place; I was looking for someone who had lines in her face. I found her there but she was past all concern; I asked her to hold me, I said, "Lady, unfold me," But she scorned me and she told me I was dead and I could never return. Well, I argued all night like so many have before, Saying, "Whatever you give me, I seem to need so much more." Then she pointed at me where I kneeled on her floor, She said, "Don't try to use me or slyly refuse me, Just win me or lose me, It is this that the darkness is for." I cried, "Oh, Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old, The stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold." "If we cry now," she said, "it will just be ignored." So I walked through the morning, sweet early morning, I could hearhttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgmy lady calling, "You've won me, you've won me, my lord, You've won me, you've won me, my lord, Yes, you've won me, you've won me, my lord, Ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord, Ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord."

Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Last Year's Man The rain falls down on last year's man, That's a jew's harp on the table, That's a crayon in his hand. And the corners of the blueprint are ruined since they rolled Far past the stems of thumbtacks That still throw shadows on the wood. And the skylight is like skin for a drum I'll never mend And all the rain falls down amen On the works of last year's man. I met a lady, she was playing with her soldiers in the dark Oh one by one she had to tell them That her name was Joan of Arc. I was in that army, yes I stayed a little while; I want to thank you, Joan of Arc, For treating me so well. And though I wear a uniform I was not born to fight; All these wounded boys you lie beside, Goodnight, my friends, goodnight. I came upon a wedding that old families had contrived; Bethlehem the bridegroom, Babylon the bride. Great Babylon was naked, oh she stood there trembling for me, And Bethlehem inflamed us both Like the shy one at some orgy. And when we fell together all our flesh was like a veil That I had to draw aside to see The serpent eat its tail. Some women wait for Jesus, and some women wait for Cain So I hang upon my altar And I hoist my axe again. And I take the one who finds me back to where it all began When Jesus was the honeymoon And Cain was just the man. And we readhttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgfrom pleasant Bibles that are bound in blood and skin That the wilderness is gathering All its children back again. The rain falls down on last year's man, An hour has gone by And he has not moved his hand. But everything will happen if he only gives the word; The lovers will rise up And the mountains touch the ground. But the skylight is like skin for a drum I'll never mend And all the rain falls down amen On the works of last year's man. Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leaving Green Sleeves Alas, my love, you did me wrong, To cast me out discourteously, For I have loved you so long, Delighting in your very company. Now if you intend to show me disdain, Don't you know it all the more enraptures me, For even so I still remain your lover in captivity. Green sleeves, you're all alone, The leaves have fallen, the men have gone. Green sleeves, there's no one home, Not even the Lady Green Sleeves I sang my songs, I told my lies, To lie between your matchless thighs. And ain't it fine, ain't it wild To finally end our exercise Then I sawhttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgyou naked in the early dawn, Oh, I hoped you would be someone new. I reached for you but you were gone, So lady I'm going too. Green sleeves, you're all alone... Green sleeves, you're all alone, The leaves have fallen, the men have all gone home. Green sleeves, it's so easily done, Leaving the Lady Green Sleeves. Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Light As The Breeze She stands before you naked You can see it, you can taste it, And she comes to you light as the breeze. Now you can drink it or you can nurse it, It don't matter how you worship As long as you're Down on your knees. So I knelt there at the delta, At the alpha and the omega, At the cradle of the river and the seas. And like a blessing come from heaven For something like a second I was healed and my heart Was at ease. O baby I waited So long for your kiss For something to happen, Oh something like this. And you're weak and you're harmless And you're sleeping in your harness And the wind going wild In the trees, And it ain't exactly prison But you'll never be forgiven For whatever you've done With the keys. O baby I waited ... It's dark now and it's snowing O my love I must be going, The river has started to freeze. And I'm sick of pretending I'm broken from bending I've lived too long on my knees. Then she dances so graceful And your heart's hard and hateful And she's naked But that's just a tease. And you turn in disgust From your hatred and from your love And comes to you Light as the breeze. O baby I waited ... There's blood on every bracelet You can see it, you can taste it, And it's Please baby Pleasehttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgbaby please. And she says, Drink deeply, pilgrim But don't forget there's still a woman Beneath this Resplendent chemise. So I knelt there at the delta, At the alpha and the omega, I knelt there like one who believes. And the blessings come from heaven And for something like a second I'm cured and my heart Is at ease Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Love Calls You By Your Name You thought that it could never happen To all the people that you became, Your body lost in legend, the beast so very tame. But here, right here, Between the birthmark and the stain, Between the ocean and your open vein, Between the snowman and the rain, Once again, once again, Love calls you by your name. The women in your scrapbook Whom you still praise and blame, You say they chained you to your fingernails And you climb the halls of fame. Oh but here, right here, Between the peanuts and the cage, Between the darkness and the stage, Between the hour and the age, Once again, once again, Love calls you by your name. Shouldering your loneliness Like a gun that you will not learn to aim, You stumble into this movie house, Then you climb, you climb into the frame. Yes, and here, right here Between the moonlight and the lane, Between the tunnel and the train, Between the victim and his stain, Once again, once again, Love calls you by your name. I leave the lady meditating On the very love which I, I do not wish to claim, I journey down the hundred steps, But the street is still the very same. And here, right here, Between the dancer and his cane, Between the sailboat and the drain, Between the newsreel and your tiny pain, Once again, once again, Love calls you by your name. Where are you, Judy, where are you, Anne? Where are the paths your heroes came? Wondering out loud as the bandage pulls away, Was I, was I only limping, was I really lame? Oh here, comehttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgover here, Between the windmill and the grain, Between the sundial and the chain, Between the traitor and her pain, Once again, once again, Love calls you by your name. Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Love Itself The light came through the window, Straight from the sun above, And so inside my little room There plunged the rays of Love. In streams of light I clearly saw The dust you seldom see, Out of which the Nameless makes A Name for one like me. I'll try to say a little more: Love went on and on Until it reached an open door – Then Love Itself Love Itself was gone. All busy in the sunlight The flecks did float and dance, And I was tumbled up with them In formless circumstance. I'll try to say a little more: Love went on and on Until it reached an open door – Then Love Itself Love Itself was gone. Then I came back from where I'd been. My room, it looked the same – But there was nothing left between The Nameless and the Name. All busy in the sunlight The fleckshttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgdid float and dance, And I was tumbled up with them In formless circumstance. I'll try to say a little more: Love went on and on Until it reached an open door – Then Love itself, Love Itself was gone. Love Itself was gone. Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Lover Lover Lover I asked my father, I said, "Father change my name." The one I'm using now it's covered up With fear and filth and cowardice and shame. Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me, Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me. He said, "I locked you in this body, I meant it as a kind of trial. You can use it for a weapon, Or to make some woman smile." Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me.

Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Master Song I believe that you heard your master sing When I was sick in bed. I suppose that he told you everything That I keep locked away in my head. Your master took you travelling, Well at least that's what you said. And now do you come back to bring Your prisoner wine and bread? You met him at some temple, where They take your clothes at the door. He was just a numberless man in a chair Who'd just come back from the war. And you wrap up his tired face in your hair And he hands you the apple core. Then he touches your lips now so suddenly bare Of all the kisses we put on some time before. And he gave you a German Shepherd to walk With a collar of leather and nails, And he never once made you explain or talk About all of the little details, Such as who had a word and who had a rock, And who had you through the mails. Now your love is a secret all over the block, And it never stops not even when your master fails. And he took you up in his aeroplane, Which he flew without any hands, And you cruised above the ribbons of rain That drove the crowd from the stands. Then he killed the lights in a lonely Lane And, an ape with angel glands, Erased the final wisps of pain With the music of rubber bands. And now I hear your master sing, You kneel for him to come. His body is a golden string That your body is hanging from. His body is a golden string, My body has grown numb. Oh now you hear your master sing, Your shirt is all undone. And will you kneel beside this bed That we polished so long ago, Before your master chose instead To make my bed of snow? Your eyes are wild and your knuckles are red And you're speaking far too low. No I can't make out what your master said Before he made you go. Then I think you're playing far too rough For a lady who's been to the moon; I've lain by this window long enough To get usedhttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgto an empty room. And your love is some dust in an old man's cough Who is tapping his foot to a tune, And your thighs are a ruin, you want too much, Let's say you came back some time too soon. I loved your master perfectly I taught him all that he knew. He was starving in some deep mystery Like a man who is sure what is true. And I sent you to him with my guarantee I could teach him something new, And I taught him how you would long for me No matter what he said no matter what you'd do. I believe that you heard your master sing While I was sick in bed, I'm sure thathttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpghe told you everything I must keep locked away in my head. Your master took you travelling, Well at least that's what you said, And now do you come back to bring Your prisoner wine and bread? Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Memories Frankie Lane, he was singing Jezebel I pinned an Iron Cross to my lapel I walked up to the tallest and the blondest girl I said, Look, you don't know me now but very soon you will So won't you let me see I said "won't you let me see" I said "won't you let me see Your naked body?" Just dance me to the dark side of the gym Chances are I'll let you do most anything I know you're hungry, I can hear it in your voice And therehttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgare many parts of me to touch, you have your choice Ah but no you cannot see She said "no you cannot see" She said "no you cannot see My naked body" So We're dancing close, the band is playing Stardust Balloons and paper streamers floating down on us She says, You've got a minute left to fall in love In solemn moments such as this I have put my trust And all my faith to see I said all my faith to see I said all my faith to see Her naked body Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong I lit a thin green candle, to make you jealous of me. But the room just filled up with mosquitos, They heard that my body was free. Then I took the dust of a long sleepless night And I put it in your little shoe. And then I confess that I tortured the dress That you wore for the world to look through. I showed my heart to the doctor: he said I just have to quit. Then he wrote himself a prescription, And your name was mentioned in it! Then he locked himself in a library shelf With the details of our honeymoon, And I hear from the nurse that he's gotten much worse And his practice is all in a ruin. I heard of a saint who had loved you, So I studied all night in his school. He taught that the duty of lovers Is to tarnish the golden rule. And just when I was sure that his teachings were pure He drowned himself in the pool. His body is gonehttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgbut back here on the lawn His spirit continues to drool. An Eskimo showed me a movie He'd recently taken of you: The poor man could hardly stop shivering, His lips and his fingers were blue. I suppose that he froze when the wind took your clothes And I guess he just never got warm. But you stand there so nice, in your blizzard of ice, Oh please let me come into the storm. Leonard Cohen |
Our Lady Of Solitude Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Our Lady Of Solitude All summer long she touched me She gathered in my soul From many a thorn, from many thickets Her fingers, like a weaver's Quick and cool And the light came from her body And the night went through her grace All summer long she touched me And I knew her, I knew her Face to face And her dress was blue and silver And her words were few and small She is thehttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgvessel of the whole wide world Mistress, oh mistress, of us all Dearly dead; Queen of Solitude I thank you with my heart For keeping me so close to thee While so many, oh so many, stood apart And the light came from her body And the night went through her grace All summer long she touched me I knew her, I knew her Face to face Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Paper Thin Hotel The walls of this hotel are paper-thin Last night I heard you making love to him The struggle mouth to mouth and limb to limb The grunt of unity when he came in I stood there with my ear against the wall I was not seized by jealousy at all In fact a burden lifted from my soul I heard that love was out of my control A heavy burden lifted from my soul I heard that love was out of my control I listened to your kisses at the door I never heard the world so clear before You ran your bath and you began to sing I felt so good I couldn't feel a thing I stood there with my ear against the wall And I can't wait to tell you to your face And I can't wait for you to take my place You are The Naked Angel In My Heart You are Thehttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgWoman With Her Legs Apart It's written on the walls of this hotel You go to heaven once you've been to hell A heavy burden lifted from my soul I heard that love was out of my control Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Seems So Long Ago, Nancy It seems so long ago, Nancy was alone, Looking ate the Late Late show Through a semi-precious stone. In the House of Honesty Her father was on trial, In the House of Mystery There was no one at all, There was no one at all. It seems so long ago, None of us were strong; Nancy wore green stockings And she slept with everyone. She never said she'd wait for us Although she was alone, I think she fell in love for us In nineteen sixty one, In nineteen sixty one. It seems so long ago, Nancy was alone, A forty five beside her head, An open telephone. We told her she was beautiful, We told her she was free But nonehttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgof us would meet her in The House of Mystery, The House of Mystery. And now you look around you, See her everywhere, Many use her body, Many comb her hair. In the hollow of the night When you are cold and numb You hear her talking freely then, She's happy that you've come, She's happy that you've come. Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Sisters Of Mercy Oh the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone. They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on. And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song. Oh I hope you run into them, you who've been travelling so long. Yes you who must leave everything that you cannot control. It begins with your family, but soon it comes around to your soul. Well I've been where you're hanging, I think I can see how you're pinned: When you're not feeling holy, your loneliness says that you've sinned. Well they lay down beside me, I made my confession to them. They touched both my eyes and I touched the dew on their hem. If your life is a leaf thathttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgthe seasons tear off and condemn They will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem. When I left they were sleeping, I hope you run into them soon. Don't turn on the lights, you can read their address by the moon. And you won't make me jealous if I hear that they sweetened your night: We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right, We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right. Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları So Long Marianne Come over to the window, my little darling, I'd like to try to read your palm. I used to think I was some kind of Gypsy boy Before I let you take me home. Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. Well you know that I love to live with you, But you make me forget so very much. I forget to pray for the angels And then the angels forget to pray for us. Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began We met when we were almost young Deep in the green lilac park. You held on to me like I was a crucifix, As we went kneeling through the dark. Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began Your letters they all say that you're beside me now. Then why do I feel alone? I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web Is fastening my ankle to a stone. Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began For now I need your hidden love. I'm cold ashttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpga new razor blade. You left when I told you I was curious, I never said that I was brave. Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began Oh, you are really such a pretty one. I see you've gone and changed your name again. And just when I climbed this whole mountainside, To wash my eyelids in the rain! Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Stories Of The Street The stories of the street are mine,the Spanish voices laugh. The Cadillacs go creeping now through the night and the poison gas, And I lean from my window sill in this old hotel I chose, Yes one hand on my suicide, one hand on the rose. I know you've heard it's over now and war must surely come, The cities they are broke in half and the middle men are gone. But let me ask you one more time, O children of the dusk, All these hunters who are shrieking now oh do they speak for us? And where do all these highways go, now that we are free? Why are the armies marching still that were coming home to me? O lady with your legs so fine O stranger at your wheel, You are locked into your suffering and your pleasures are the seal. The age of lust is giving birth, and both the parents ask The nurse to tell them fairy tales on both sides of the glass. And now the infant withhttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpghis cord is hauled in like a kite, And one eye filled with blueprints, one eye filled with night. O come with me my little one, we will find that farm And grow us grass and apples there and keep all the animals warm. And if by chance I wake athttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgnight and I ask you who I am, O take me to the slaughterhouse, I will wait there with the lamb. With one hand on the hexagram and one hand on the girl I balance on a wishing well that all men call the world. We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky, And lost among the subway crowds I try to catch your eye. Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Stranger Song 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, Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender. And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind You find he did not leave you very much Not even laughter Like any dealer he was watching for the card That is so high and wild He'll never need to deal another He was just some Joseph looking for a manger He was just some Joseph looking for a manger And then leaning on your window sill He'll say one day you caused his will To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter And then taking from his wallet An old schedule of trains, he'll say I told you when I came I was a stranger I told you when I came I was a stranger. But now another stranger seems To want you to ignore his dreams As though they were the burden of some other O you've seen that man before His golden arm dispatching cards But now it's rusted from the elbows to the finger And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter. Ah you hate to see another tired man Lay down his hand Like he was giving up the holy game of poker And while he talks his dreams to sleep You notice there's a highway That is curling up like smoke above his shoulder. It is curling just like smoke above his shoulder. You tell him to come in sit down But something makes you turn around The door is open you can't close your shelter You try the handle of the road It opens dohttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgnot be afraid It's you my love, you who are the stranger It's you my love, you who are the stranger. Well, I've been waiting, I was sure We'd meet between the trains we're waiting for I think it's time to board another Please understand, I never had a secret chart To get me to the heart of this Or any other matter When he talks like this You don't know what he's after When he speaks like this, You don't know what he's after. Let's meet tomorrow if you choose Upon the shore, beneath the bridge That they are building on some endless river Then he leaves the platform For the sleepinghttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgcar that's warm You realize, he's only advertising one more shelter And it comes to you, he never was a stranger And you say ok the bridge or someplace later. And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind And leaning on your window sill I told you when I came I was a stranger. Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Suzanne Suzanne takes you down to her place newer the river You can hear the boats go by You can spend the night beside her And you know that shes half crazy But thats why you want to be there And she feeds you tea and oranges That come all the way from china And just when you mean to tell her That you have no love to give her Then she gets you on her wavelength And she lets the river answer That youve always been her lover And you want to travel with her And you want to travel blind And you know that she will trust you For youve touched her perfect body with your mind. And jesus was a sailor When he walked upon the water And he spent a long time watching From his lonely wooden tower And when he knew for certain Only drowning men could see him He said all men will be sailors then Until the sea shall free them But he himself was broken Long before the sky would open Forsaken, almost human He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone And you want to travel with him And you want to travel blind And you think maybe youll trust him For hes touched your perfect body with his mind. Now suzanne takes you hand And she leads you to the river She is wearing rags and feathers From salvation army counters And the sun pours down like honey On our lady of the harbour And she shows you where to look Among the garbage and the flowers There are heroes in the seaweed There arehttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgchildren in the morning They are leaning out for love And they will lean that way forever While suzanne holds the mirror And you want to travel with her And you want to travel blind And you know that she will trust you For shes touched your perfect body with her mind. Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Take This Longing Many men have loved the bells You fastened to the rein, And everyone who wanted you They found what they will always want again. Your beauty lost to you yourself Just as it was lost to them. Oh take this longing from my tongue, Whatever useless things these hands have done. Let me see your beauty broken down Like you would do for one you love. Your body like a searchlight My poverty revealed, I would like to try your charity Until you cry, "Now you must try my greed." And everything depends upon How near you sleep to me Just take this longing from my tongue All the lonely things my hands have done. Let me see your beauty broken down Like you would do for one your love. Hungry as an archway Through which the troops have passed, I stand in ruins behind you, Withhttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgyour winter clothes, your broken sandal straps. I love to see you naked over there Especially from the back. Oh take this longing from my tongue, All the useless things my hands have done, Untie for me your hired blue gown, Like you would do for one that you love. You're faithful to the better man, I'm afraid that he left. So let me judge your love affair In thishttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgvery room where I have sentenced Mine to death. I'll even wear these old laurel leaves That he's shaken from his head. Just take this longing from my tongue, All the useless things my hands have done, Let me see your beauty broken down, Like you would do for one you love. Like you would do for one you love. Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Take This Waltz Now in Vienna there's ten pretty women There's a shoulder where Death comes to cry There's a lobby with nine hundred windows There's a tree where the doves go to die There's a piece that was torn from the morning And it hangs in the Gallery of Frost Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay Take this waltz, take this waltz Take this waltz with the clamp on its jaws Oh I want you, I want you, I want you On a chair with a dead magazine In the cave at the tip of the lily In some hallways where love's never been On a bed where the moon has been sweating In a cry filled with footsteps and sand Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay Take this waltz, take this waltz Take its broken waist in your hand This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz With its very own breath of brandy and Death Dragging its tail in the sea There's a concert hall in Vienna Where your mouth had a thousand reviews There's a bar where the boys have stopped talking They've been sentenced to death by the blues Ah, but who is it climbs to your picture With a garland of freshly cut tears? Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay Take this waltz, take this waltz Take this waltz it's been dying for years There's an attic where children are playing Where I've got to lie down with you soon In a dream of Hungarian lanterns In the mist of some sweet afternoon And I'll see what you've chained to your sorrow All your sheep and your lilies of snow Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay Take this waltz, take this waltz With its "I'll never forget you, you know!" This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz ... And I'll dance with you in Vienna I'll be wearing a river's disguise The hyacinth wild on my shoulder, My mouth on the dew of your thighs And I'll bury myhttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgsoul in a scrapbook, With the photographs there, and the moss And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty My cheap violin and my cross And you'll carry me down on your dancing To the pools that you lift on your wrist Oh my love, Oh my love Take this waltz, take this waltz It's yours now. It's all that there is Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları That Don't Make It Junk I fought against the bottle, But I had to do it drunk – Took my diamond to the pawnshop – But that don't make it junk. I know that I'm forgiven, But I don't know how I know I don't trust my inner feelings – Inner feelings come and go. How come you called me here tonight? How come you bother With my heart at all? You raise me up in grace, Then you put me in a place, Where I must fall. Too late to fix another drink – The lights are going out – I'll listen to the darkness sing – I know what that's about. I tried to love you my way, But I couldn'thttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgmake it hold. So I closed the Book of Longing And I do what I am told. How come you called me here tonight? How come you bother with my heart at all? You raisehttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgme up in grace, Then you put me in a place, Where I must fall. I fought against the bottle, But I had to do it drunk – Took my diamond to the pawnshop – But that don't make it junk. Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları The Butcher I came upon a butcher, He was slaughtering a lamb, I accused him there With his tortured lamb. He said, "Listen to me, child, I am what I am And you, you are my only son." Well, I found a silver needle, I put it into my arm. It did some good, Did some harm. But the nights were cold And it almost kept me warm, How come the night is long? I saw some flowers growing up Where that lamb fell down; Was I supposed to praise my Lord, Make some kind of joyful sound? He said, "Listen, listen to me now, I go roundhttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgand round And you, you are my only child." Do not leave me now, Do not leave me now, I'm broken down From a recent fall. Blood upon my body And ice upon my soul, Lead on, my son, it is your world. Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları The Future Give me back my broken night My mirrored room, my secret life It's lonely here, There's no one left to torture Give me absolute control Over every living soul And lie beside me, baby, That's an order! Give me crack and anal sex Take the only tree that's left And stuff it up the hole In your culture Give me back the berlin wall Give me stalin and st paul I've seen the future, brother: It is murder. Things are going to slide, slide in all directions Won't be nothing Nothing you can measure anymore The blizzard, the blizzard of the world Has crossed the threshold And it has overturned The order of the soul When they said repent repent I wonder what they meant When they said repent repent I wonder what they meant When they said repent repent I wonder what they meant You don't know me from the wind You never will, you never did I'm the little jew Who wrote the bible I've seen the nations rise and fall I've heard their stories, heard them all But love's the only engine of survival Your servant here, he has been told To say it clear, to say it cold: It's over, it ain't going Any further And now the wheels of heaven stop You feel the devil's riding crop Get ready for the future: It is murder Things are going to slide ... There'll be the breaking of the ancient Western code Your private life will suddenly explode There'll be phantoms There'll be fires on the road And the white man dancing You'll see a woman Hanginghttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgupside down Her features covered by her fallen gown And all the lousy little poets Coming round Tryin' to sound like charlie manson And the white man dancin Give me back the berlin wall Give me stalin and st paul Give me christ Or give me hiroshima Destroy another fetus now We don't like children anyhow I've seen the future, baby: It is murder Things are going to slide ... When they said repent repent... Söz: Leonard Cohen Müzik: Leonard Cohen Albüm: The Future Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları The Land Of Plenty Don't really know who sent me To raise my voice and say: May the lights in The Land of Plenty Shine on the truth some day. I don't know why I come here, Knowing as I do, What you really think of me, What I really think of you. For the millions in a prison, That wealth has set apart – For the Christ who has not risen, From the caverns of the heart – For the innermost decision, That we cannot but obey - For what's left of our religion, I lift my voice and pray: May the lights in The Land of Plenty Shine on the truth some day. I know I said I'd meet you, I'd meet you at the store, But I can't buy it, baby. I can't buy it anymore. And I don't really know who sent me, To raise my voice and say: May thehttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpglights in The Land of Plenty Shine on the truth some day. I don't know why I come here, Knowing as I do, What you really think of me, What I really think of you.

Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları The Night Comes On I went down to the place Where I knew she lay waiting Under the marble and the snow I said, Mother I'm frightened The thunder and the lightning I'll never come through this alone She said, I'll be with you My shawl wrapped around you My hand on your head when you go And the night came on It was very calm I wanted the night to go on and on But she said, Go back to the World We were fighting in Egypt When they signed this agreement That nobody else had to die There was this terrible sound And my father went down With a terrible wound in his side He said, Try to go on Take my books, take my gun Remember, my son, how they lied And the night comes on It's very calm I'd like to pretend that my father was wrong But you don't want to lie, not to the young We were locked in this kitchen I took to religion And I wondered how long she would stay I needed so much To have nothing to touch I've always been greedy that way But my son and my daughter Climbed out of the water Crying, Papa, you promised to play And they lead me away To the great surprise It's Papa, don't peek, Papa, cover your eyes And they hide, they hide in the World Now I look for her always I'm lost in this calling I'm tied to the threads of some prayer Saying, When will she summon me When will she come to me What must I do to prepare When she bends to my longing Like a willow, like a fountain She stands in the luminous air And thehttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgnight comes on And it's very calm I lie in her arms and says, When I'm gone I'll be yours, yours for a song Now the crickets are singing The vesper bells ringing The cat's curled asleep in his chair I'll go down to Bill's Bar I can make it that far And I'll see if my friends are still there Yes, and here's to the few Who forgive what you do And the fewer who don't even care And the night comes on It's very calm I want to cross over, I want to go home But she says, Go back, go back to the World Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları There Is A War There is a war between the rich and poor, A war between the man and the woman. There is a war between the ones who say there is a war And the ones who say there isn't. Why don't you come on back to the war, that's right, get in it, Why don't you come on back to the war, it's just beginning. Well I live here with a woman and a child, The situation makes me kind of nervous. Yes, I rise up from her arms, she says "I guess you call this love"; I call it service. Why don't you come on back to the war, don't be a tourist, Why don't you come on back to the war, before it hurts us, Why don't you come on back to the war, let's all get nervous. You cannot stand what I've become, You much prefer the gentleman I was before. I was so easy tohttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgdefeat, I was so easy to control, I didn't even know there was a war. Why don't you come on back to the war, don't be embarrassed, Why don't you come on back to the war, you can still get married. There is a war between the rich and poor, A war between the man and the woman. There is a war between the left and right, A war between the black and white, A war between the odd and the even. Why don't you come on back to the war, pick up your tiny burden, Why don't you come on back to the war, let's all get even, Why don't you come on back to the war, can't you hear me speaking? Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları To A Teacher Hurt once and for all into silence. A long pain ending without a song to prove it. Who could stand beside you so close to eden, When you glinted in every eye the held-high Razor, shivering every ram and son? And now the silent loony bin, where The shadows live in the rafters like Day-weary bats, Until the turning mind, a radar signal, Lures them to exaggerate Mountain-size on the white stone wall Your tiny limp. How can i leave you in such a house? Are there no more saints and wizards To praise their ways with pupils, No more evilhttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgto stun with the slap Of a wet red tongue? Did you confuse the messiah in a mirror And rest because he had finally come? Let me cry help beside you, teacher. I have entered under this dark roof As fearlessly as an honoured son Enters his father's house. Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları True Love Leaves No Traces As the mist leaves no scar On the dark green hill So my body leaves no scar On you and never will Through windows in the dark The children come, the children go Like arrows with no targets Like shackles made of snow True love leaves no traces If you and I are one It's lost in our embraces Like stars against the sun As a falling leaf may rest A moment on the air So your head upon my breast So my hand upon your hair And many nights endure Without a moon or star So wehttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgwill endure When one is gone and far True love leaves no traces If you and I are one It's lost in our embraces Like stars against the sun Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Who By Fire And who by fire, who by water, Who in the sunshine, who in the night time, Who by high ordeal, who by common trial, Who in your merry merry month of may, Who by very slow decay, And who shall I say is calling? And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate, Who in these realms of love, who by something blunt, And who byhttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgavalanche, who by powder, Who for his greed, who for his hunger, And who shall I say is calling? And who by brave assent, who by accident, Who in solitude, who in this mirror, Who by his lady's command, who by his own hand, Who in mortal chains, who in power, And who shall I say is calling? Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Why Don't You Try Why don't you try to do without him? Why don't you try to live alone? Do you really need his hands for your passion? Do you really need his heart for your throne? Do you need his labour for your baby? Do you need his beast for the bone? Do you need to hold a leash to be a lady? I know you're going to make, make it on your own. Why don't your try to forget him? Just open up your dainty little hand. You know this life is filled with many sweet companions, Many satisfying one-night stands. Do you want to be the ditch around a tower? Do you want to be the moonlight in his cave? Do you want to give yourhttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgblessing to his power As he goes whistling past his daddy, past his daddy's grave. I'd like to take you take you to the ceremony, Well, that is if I remember the way. You see Jack and Jill they're going to join their misery, I'm afraid it's time for everyone to pray. You can see they've finally taken cover, They're willing, yeah they're willing to obey. Their vows are difficult, they're for each other, So let nobody put a loophole, a loophole in their way Leonard Cohen |
Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları Leonard Cohen Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) - Leonard Cohen Şarkıları You Have Loved Enough I said I'd be your lover. You laughed at what I said. I lost my job forever. I was counted with the dead. I swept the marble chambers, But you sent me down below. You kept me from believing Until you let me know: That I am not the one who loves – It's love that seizes me. When hatred with his package comes, You forbid delivery. And when the hunger for your touch Rises from the hunger, You whisper, "You have loved enough, Now let me be the Lover." I swept the marble chambers, But you sent me down below. You kepthttp://www.tualimforum.com/images/nkt.jpgme from believing Until you let me know: That I am not the one who loves – It's love that chooses me. When hatred with his package comes, You forbid delivery. And when the hunger for your touch Rises from the hunger... Leonard Cohen |
