#LeonardCohen #SoLongMarianneLive
Lyrics:
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
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
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
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
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
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
For now I need your hidden love
I'm cold as a 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
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
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
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again

#LeonardCohen #BirdontheWireLive
Lyrics:
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
For 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

#LeonardCohen #WhyDontYouTryLive
Lyrics:
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 gonna make it, 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 wanna be the ditch around a tower?
Do you wanna be the moonlight in his cave?
Do you wanna give your blessing to his power
As he goes whistling past his daddy, past his daddy's grave
I'd like to 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

#LeonardCohen #MemoriesLive
Lyrics:
Frankie Lane, he was singin' '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 almost anything
I know you're hungry, I can hear it in your voice
And there are 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, they're 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
Oh, oh, naked body, oh, oh, all my faith to see
All my faith, oh, oh, all my faith
Oh, oh, all my faith to see her naked body
Her naked bo-bo-body
And all my faith to see, I said, all, all my faith
I said, all, all, all my faith to see
All my faith to see her naked body

#LeonardCohen #TheGuestsLive
Lyrics:
One by one the guests arrive
The guests are coming through
The open-hearted many
The broken-hearted few
And no one knows where the night is going
And no one knows where the wine is flowing
Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
I need you now
And those who dance, begin to dance
Those who weap, begin
And welcome, welcome cries of voice
Let all my guests come in
And no one knows where the night is going
And no one knows where the wine is flowing
Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
I need you now
And all goes stumbling through that house
In lonely secrecy
Saying do reveal yourself
Or why has thou forsaken me
And no one knows where the night is going
And no one knows where the wine is flowing
Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
I need you now
All at once the tortures flare
The inner door flies open
One by one they enter there
In every style of passion
And no one knows where the night is going
And no one knows where the wine is flowing
Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
I need you now
And here they take their sweet repast
Wild house and grounds resolve
And one by one the guests are cast beyond the garden wall
And no one knows where the night is going
And no one knows where the wine is flowing
Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
I need you now
For those who dance, begin to dance
Those who weap, begin
Those who earnestly are lost
Are lost, and lost begin
And no one knows where the night is going
And no one knows where the wine is flowing
Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
I need you now
One by one the guests arrive
The guests are coming through
The broken-hearted many
The open-hearted few
And no one knows where the night is going
And no one knows where the wine is flowing
Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
I need you now

#LeonardCohen #TheStrangerSongLive
Lyrics:
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 elbow 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 watch 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's 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 do not be afraid
It's you my love, you who are the stranger
It is you my love, you who are the stranger
"Well, I've been waitin', I was sure
We'd meet between the trains we're waitin' 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 sleeping car 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
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
I told you when I came I was a stranger
I told you when I came I was a stranger"

#LeonardCohen #HeyThatsNoWaytoSayGoodbyeLive
Lyrics:
I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
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 try
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time
Walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme
You know my love goes with you as your love stays with me
It's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea
But let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
Yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new
In city and in forest they smiled like me and you
But let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye

#LeonardCohen #LoverLoverLoverLive
Lyrics:
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."
Yeah 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
"Then let me start again," I cried
"Please let me start again
I want a face that's fair this time
I want a spirit that is calm."
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
"I never turned aside," he said
"I never walked away
It was you who built the temple
It was you who covered up my face."
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
"And may the spirit of this song
May it rise up pure and free
May it be a shield for you
A shield against the enemy."
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
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
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
Come back to me
I went down to the desert
To help my brothers fight
I know that they weren't wrong
I know that they weren't right
But bones must stand up straight and walk
And blood must move around
And men go making ugly lines
Around the holy ground

#LeonardCohen #TheGypsysWifeLive
Lyrics:
And where, where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight
I've heard all the wild reports, they can't be right
But whose head is this she's dancing with on the threshing floor
whose darkness deepens in her arms a little more
And where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
Where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
Ah the silver knives are flashing in the tired old cafe
A ghost climbs on the table in a bridal negligee
She says, "My body is the light, my body is the way"
I raise my arm against it all and I catch the bride's bouquet
And where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
Too early for the rainbow, too early for the dove
These are the final days, this is the darkness, this is the flood
And there is no man or woman who can't be touched
But you who come between them will be judged
And where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?

#LeonardCohen #TheWindowLive
Lyrics:
Why do you stand by the window
Abandoned to beauty and pride
The thorn of the night in your bosom
The spear of the age in your side
Lost in the rages of fragrance
Lost in the rags of remorse
Lost in the waves of a sickness
That loosens the high silver nerves
Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love
Oh tangle of matter and ghost
Oh darling of angels, demons and saints
And the whole broken-hearted host
Gentle this soul
And come forth from the cloud of unknowing
And kiss the cheek of the moon
The New Jerusalem glowing
Why tarry all night in the ruin
And leave no word of discomfort
And leave no observer to mourn
But climb on your tears and be silent
Like a rose on its ladder of thorns
Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love
Then lay your rose on the fire
The fire give up to the sun
The sun give over to splendour
In the arms of the high holy one
For the holy one dreams of a letter
Dreams of a letter's death
Oh bless thee continuous stutter
Of the word being made into flesh
Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love
Gentle this soul

#LeonardCohen #FieldCommanderCohenLive
Lyrics:
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 this and nothing more
Than just some grateful faithful woman's favorite 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.

#LeonardCohen #IfItBeYourWill
Lyrics:
If it be your will
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until
I am spoken for
If it be your will
If it be your will
That a voice be true
From this broken hill
I will sing to you
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing
If it be your will
If there is a choice
Let the rivers fill
Let the hills rejoice
Let your mercy spill
On all these burning hearts in hell
If it be your will
To make us well
And draw us near
And bind us tight
All your children here
In their rags of light
In our rags of light
All dressed to kill
And end this night
If it be your will
If it be your will

#LeonardCohen #HeartWithNoCompanion
Lyrics:
Now I greet you from the other side
Of sorrow and despair
With a love so vast and shattered
It will reach you everywhere
And I sing this for the captain
Whose ship has not been built
For the mother in confusion
Her cradle still unfilled
For the heart with no companion
For the soul without a king
For the prima ballerina
Who cannot dance to anything
Through the days of shame that are coming
Through the nights of wild distress
Though your promise count for nothing
You must keep it nonetheless
You must keep it for the captain
Whose ship has not been built
For the mother in confusion
Her cradle still unfilled
For the heart with no companion
For the soul without a king
For the prima ballerina
Who cannot dance to anything
And I greet you from the other side
Of sorrow and despair
With a love so vast and shattered
It will reach you everywhere

#LeonardCohen #HuntersLullaby
Lyrics:
Your father's gone a-hunting
He's deep in the forest so wild
And he cannot take his wife with him
He cannot take his child
Your father's gone a-hunting
In the quicksand and the clay
And a woman cannot follow him
Although she knows the way
Your father's gone a-hunting
Through the silver and the glass
Where only greed can enter
But spirit, spirit cannot pass
Your father's gone a-hunting
For the beast he'll never bind
And he leaves a baby sleeping
And his blessings all behind
Your father's gone a-hunting
And he's lost his lucky charm
And he's lost the guardian heart
That keeps the hunter from the harm
Your father's gone a-hunting
He asked me to say goodbye
And he warned me not to stop him
I wouldn't, I wouldn't even try

#LeonardCohen #TheCaptain
Lyrics:
Now the Captain called me to his bed
He fumbled for my hand
"Take these silver bars," he said
"I'm giving you command."
"Command of what, there's no one here
There's only you and me --
All the rest are dead or in retreat
Or with the enemy."
"Complain, complain, that's all you've done
Ever since we lost
If it's not the Crucifixion
Then it's the Holocaust."
"May Christ have mercy on your soul
For making such a joke
Amid these hearts that burn like coal
And the flesh that rose like smoke."
"I know that you have suffered, lad
But suffer this awhile:
Whatever makes a soldier sad
Will make a killer smile."
"I'm leaving, Captain, I've got to go
There's blood upon your hand
But tell me, Captain, if you know
Of a decent place to stand."
"There is no decent place to stand
In a massacre;
But if a woman take your hand
Then go and stand with her."
"I left a wife in Tennessee
And my baby in Saigon --
I risked my life, but not to hear
Some country-western song."
"Ah but if you cannot raise your love
To a very high degree
Then you're just the man I've been thinking of --
So come and stand with me."
"Your standing days are done," I cried
"You'll rally me no more
I don't even know what side
We fought on, or what for."
"I'm on the side that's always lost
Against the side of Heaven
I'm on the side of snake-eyes tossed
Against the side of seven
And I've read the Bill of Human Rights
And some of it was true
But there wasn't any burden left
So I'm laying it on you."
Now the Captain he was dying
But the Captain wasn't hurt
The silver bars were in my hand
I pinned them to my shirt

#LeonardCohen #NightComesOn
Lyrics:
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, go back to the world"
We were fightin' in Egypt
When they signed this agreement
That nobody else had to die
There was this terrible sound
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 the night comes on
It's very calm
I lie in her arms, she 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"

#LeonardCohen #TheLaw
Lyrics:
How many times did you call me
And I knew it was late
I left everybody
But I never went straightHow many times did you call me
And I knew it was late
I left everybody
But I never went straight
I don't claim to be guilty
But I do understand
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand
Now my heart's like a blister
From doin' what I do
If the moon has a sister
It's got to be you
I'm gonna miss you forever
Tho' it's not what I planned
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand
Now the deal has been dirty
Since dirty began
I'm not asking for mercy
Not from the man
You just don't ask for mercy
While you're still on the stand
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand
I don't claim to be guilty
Guilty's too grand
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand
That's all I can say, baby
That's all I can say
It wasn't for nothing
That they put me away
I fell with my angel
Down the chain of command
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a
I don't claim to be guilty
But I do understand

#LeonardCohen #ComingBackToYou
Lyrics:
Maybe I'm still hurting
I can't turn the other cheek
But you know I still love you
It's just that I can't speak
I looked for you in everyone
And they called me on that too
I lived alone but I was only
Coming back to you
Ah they're shutting down the factory now
Just when all the bills are due
And the fields they're under lock and key
Tho' the rain and the sun come through
And springtime starts but then it stops
In the name of something new
And all the senses rise against this
Coming back to you
And they're handing down my sentence now
And I know what I must do
Another mile of silence while I'm
Coming back to you
There are many in your life
And many still to be
Since you are a shining light
There's many that you'll see
But I have to deal with envy
When you choose the precious few
Who've left their pride on the other side of
Coming back to you
Even in your arms I know
I'll never get it right
Even when you bend to give me
Comfort in the night
I've got to have your word on this
Or none of it is true
And all I've said was just instead of
Coming back to you

#LeonardCohen #Always
Lyrics:
(Oh friends, ... don't matter if you're a man or a woman
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, 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

#LeonardCohen #LightAsTheBreeze
Lyrics:
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
Ah 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
Ah baby I waited
So long for your kiss
For something to happen
Oh something like this
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 she comes to you
Light as the breeze
Ah baby I waited
So long for your kiss
For something to happen
Oh something like this
Something like this
There's blood on every bracelet
You can see it, you can taste it
And it's "Please, baby
Please baby 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

#LeonardCohen #Anthem
Lyrics:
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
Yeah 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, 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 ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
You can add up the parts
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

#LeonardCohen #BeForReal
Lyrics:
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
You see I, I don't want
To be hurt by love again
Been hurt so many times
You see I, I don't want
To be hurt by love again
Now 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
You see I, I don't want
To be hurt by love again
Oh no no no
Just see I, I don't want
To be hurt by love again
Thanks for the song Mr. Knight

#LeonardCohen #TheFuture
Lyrics:
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 (won't be)
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 (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent), 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 (slide) in all directions
Won't be nothing (won't be)
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 (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
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 your woman hanging upside down
Her features covered by her fallen gown
And all the lousy little poets coming round
Trying to sound like Charlie Manson
Yeah the white man dancing
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 (slide) in all directions
Won't be nothing (won't be), 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 (they said) repent (repent)
Repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent)
Repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent)
Repent (repent)

Hallelujah (Live at Glastonbury) Lyrics:
I’ve heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, now the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah…
Now maybe, maybe there’s a God above
As for me, all I ever learned from love
Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
But it’s not a cry that you hear tonight
No it’s not some pilgrim who claims
to have seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a very broken Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah…
Baby, I’ve been here before
I know this room, and I’ve walked this floor
You see, I used to live alone before I knew you
And I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch,
But listen, love is not some kind of victory march
No it’s a cold and it’s a very lonely Hallelujah
Hallelujah…
There was a time you let me know
What’s really going on below
Ah, but now you never show it to me, do you?
I remember, when I moved in you
And the holy dove, she was moving too,
Yes, and every single breath that we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah…
I did my best, it wasn’t much
I couldn’t feel, so I learned to touch
I’ve told the truth, I did not come all the way
to Glastonbury to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I’ll stand right here before the Lord of Song
With nothing, nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah…
[Spoken : Thanks so much friends]

LYRICS:
German puppets burned the Jews
Jewish puppets did not choose
Puppet vultures eat the dead
Puppet corpses they are fed
Puppet winds and puppet waves
Puppet sailors in their graves
Puppet flower, puppet stem
Puppet time dismantles them
Puppet me and puppet you
Puppet German
Puppet Jew
Puppet Presidents command
Puppet troops to burn the land
Puppet fire, puppet flames
Feed on all the puppet names
Puppet lovers in their bliss
Turn away from all of this
Puppet reader shakes his head
Takes his puppet wife to bed
Puppet me and puppet you
Puppet German, puppet Jew
Puppet Presidents command
Puppet troops to burn the land
Puppet fire, puppet flames
Feed on all the puppet names
Puppet night comes down to play
The after act to puppet day

Lyrics:
No words this time?
No words
No, there are times when nothing can be done
Not this time!
Is it censorship?
Is it censorship?
No, it's evaporation!
No, it's evaporation!
Is this leading somewhere?
Is this going somewhere?
Yes. We're going down the lane!
Into the garden. Into the backyard
We're walking down the driveway!
Are we moving towards...
We're in the backyard
...some transcendental moment?
It's almost light
That's right. That's it!
Are we moving towards some transcendental moment?
That's right. That's it!
Do you think you'll be able to pull it off?
Yes!
Do you think you can pull it off?
Yes, it might happen
I'm all ears. I'm all ears
Oh, the morning glory
Oh, the morning glory
Gloria, Gloria
Gloria
Gloria, ah, ah, ah
Gloria
Oh, the morning glory
Oh, the morning glory
Oh, the morning glory
Oh, the morning glory
Oh, the morning glory
Oh, the morning glory

Lyrics:
Some people say
It's what we deserve
For sins against God
For crimes in the world
I wouldn't know
I'm just holding the fort
Since that day
They wounded New York
Some people say
They hate us of old
Our women unveiled
Our slaves and our gold
I wouldn't know
I'm just holding the fort
But answer me this
I won't take you to court
Did you go crazy
Or did you report
On that day
On that day
They wounded New York
(On that day they wounded New York)

I built my house beside the wood
So I could hear you singing
And it was sweet and it was good
And love was all beginning
Fare thee well, my nightingale
'Twas long ago I found you
Now all your songs of beauty fail
The forest closes 'round you
The sun goes down behind a veil
‘Tis now that you would call me
So rest in peace my nightingale
Beneath your branch of holly
Fare thee well, my nightingale
I lived but to be near you
Tho' you are singing somewhere still
I can no longer hear you

Dear Heather
Please walk by me again
With a drink in your hand
And your legs all white from the winter
Your legs all white from the winter
And your legs all white from the winter
Dear Heather
Please walk by me again
With a drink in your hand
And your legs all white from the winter
Your legs all white from the winter
And your legs all W-H-I-T-E from the winter
Dear Heather
Please walk by me again
With a drink in your hand
And your legs all white from the winter
Your legs all white from the W-I-N-T-E-R
A-N-D-Y-O-U-R Legs all W-H-I-T-E from the winter
Dear Heather
Please walk by me again
With a drink in your hand
And your legs all white from the winter
Your legs all white from the W-I-N-T-E-R
A-N-D-Y-O-U-R legs all W-H-I-T-E from the winter

Lyrics:
So we'll go no more, no more
So we'll go no more, no more
So we'll go no more a-roving
So late into the night
Though the heart be still as loving
And the moon be still as bright
For the sword outwears its sheath
And the soul outwears the breast
And the heart must pause to breathe
And love itself have rest
Though the night was made for loving
And the day returns too soon
Yet we'll go no more a-roving
By the light of the moon
By the light of the moon
For the sword outwears its sheath
And the soul outwears the breast
And love itself have rest
Love have rest
Though the night was made for loving
And the day returns too soon
Yet we'll go no more a-roving
By the light of the moon
We'll go no more a-roving
We'll go no more a-roving
We'll go no more a-roving
By the light of the moon
So we'll go no more, no more

Lyrics:
You never liked to get
The letters that I sent
But now you've got the gist
Of what my letters meant
You're reading them again
The ones you didn't burn
You press them to your lips
My pages of concern
I said there'd been a flood
I said there's nothing left
I hoped that you would come
I gave you my address
Your story was so long
The plot was so intense
It took you years to cross
The lines of self-defense
The wounded forms appear:
The loss, the full extent;
And simple kindness here
The solitude of strength
I said there'd been a flood
I said there's nothing left
I hoped that you would come
I gave you my address
You walk into my room
You stand there at my desk
Begin your letter to
The one who's coming next
Begin your letter to
The one who's coming next
You never liked to get
The letters that I sent
But now you've got the gist
Of what my letters meant
You're reading them again
The ones you didn't burn
You press them to your lips
My pages of concern
I said there'd been a flood
I said there's nothing left
I hoped that you would come
I gave you my address
Your story was so long
The plot was so intense
Took you years to cross
The lines of self-defense
The wounded forms appear:
The loss, the full extent;
And simple kindness here
The solitude of strength

Lyrics:
When it all went down
And the pain came through
I get it now
I was there for you
Don't ask me how
I know it's true
I get it now
I was there for you
I make my plans
Like I always do
But when I look back
I was there for you
I walk the streets
Like I used to do
And I freeze with fear
But I'm there for you
I see my life
In full review
It was never me
It was always you
You sent me here
You sent me there
Breaking things
I can't repair
Making objects
Out of thoughts
Making more than
By thinking not
Eating food
And drinking wine
A body that
I thought was mine
Dressed as Arab
Dressed as Jew
O mask of iron
I was there for you
Moods of glory
Moods so foul
The world comes through
A bloody towel
And death is old
But it's always new
I freeze with fear
And I'm there for you
I see it clear
I always knew
It was never me
I was there for you
I was there for you
My darling one
And by your law
It all was done
Don't ask me how
I know it's true
I get it now
I was there for you
Don't ask me how
I know it's true
I get it now
I was there for you
Don't ask me how
I know it's true
I get it now
I was there for you
Don't ask me how
I know it's true
I get it now
I was there for you

Lyrics:
The sea so deep and blind
The sun, the wild regret
The club, the wheel, the mind
O love, aren't you tired yet?
The blood, the soil, the faith
These words you can't forget
Your vow, your holy place
O love, aren't you tired yet?
The blood, the soil, the faith
O love, aren't you tired yet?
A cross on every hill
A star, a minaret
So many graves to fill
O love, aren't you tired yet?
So many graves to fill
O love, aren't you tired yet?
The sea so deep and blind
Where still the sun must set
And time itself unwind
O love, aren't you tired yet?
And time itself unwind
O love, aren't you tired yet?

Lyrics:
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?
Now, silent looney-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 evil to 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

Lyrics:
From bitter searching of the heart
Quickened with passion and with pain
We rise to play a greater part
This is the faith from which we start:
Men shall know commonwealth again
From bitter searching of the heart
We loved the easy and the smart
But now, with keener hand and brain
We rise to play a greater part
The lesser loyalties depart
And neither race nor creed remain
From bitter searching of the heart
Not steering by the venal chart
That tricked the mass for private gain
We rise to play a greater part
Reshaping narrow law and art
Whose symbols are the millions slain
From bitter searching of the heart
We rise to play a greater part
This is the faith from which we start:
Men shall know commonwealth again
From bitter searching of the heart
We rise to play a greater part
The lesser loyalties depart
And neither race nor creed remain
From bitter searching of the heart
We rise to play a greater part
Reshaping narrow law and art
Whose symbols are the millions slain
From bitter searching of the heart
We rise to play a greater part
This is the faith from which we start:
Men shall know commonwealth again
From bitter searching of the heart
We rise to play a greater part
This is the faith from which we start:
Men shall know commonwealth again
From bitter searching of the heart
We rise to play a greater part
Not steering by the venal chart
That tricked the mass for private gain
We rise, we rise to play a greater part
Reshaping narrow law and art
Whose symbols are the millions slain
From bitter searching of the heart
We rise to play a greater part

Lyrics:
I was dancin' with my darling
To the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
Ah introduced him to my loved one
And while they were dancin'
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night
And the Tennessee Waltz
'Cause I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darling
The night they were playing
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
I remember the night
And the Tennessee Waltz
'Cause I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darling
The night they were playin'
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
She goes dancin' through the darkness
To the Tennessee Waltz
And I feel like I'm falling apart
And it's stronger than drink
And it's deeper than sorrow
This darkness she left in my heart
I remember the night
And the Tennessee Waltz
'Cause I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darling
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
That beautiful Tennessee Waltzl

Lyrics:
I set out one night
When the tide was low
There were signs in the sky
But I did not know
I'd be caught in the grip
Of an undertow
Ditched on a beach
Where the sea hates to go
With a child in my arms
And a chill in my soul
And my heart the shape
Of a begging bowl
Oh, I set out one night
But I did not know
I'd be caught in the grip
Of an undertow
Ditched on a beach
Where the sea hates to go
With a child in my arms
And a chill in my soul
And my heart the shape
Of a begging bowl

Lyrics:
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 rivers 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 I forget
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

Lyrics:
Oh Crown of Light, oh 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 oh 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
Oh Crown of Light, oh Darkened One
I never thought we’d meet
You kiss my lips, and then it’s done:
I’m back on Boogie Street
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
Oh Crown of Light, oh 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

Lyrics:
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 fought against the bottle
But I had to do it drunk
Took my diamond to the pawnshop
But that don't make it junk
That don't make it junk
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?
And how come you bother
With my heart at all?
You raised me up in grace
Then you put me in a place
Where I must fall
Too late to mix another drink -
The lights are going out -
I'll just listen to the darkness sing
I know what that's about
I tried to love you my way
But I couldn't make 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 raised me 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
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
That don't make it junk
That don't make it junk
