VERSURI LEONARD COHEN
| Leonard Cohen - A bunch of lonesome heroes |
| A bunch of lonesome and very quarrelsome heroes
were smoking out along the open road;

each man beneath his ordinary load.

| Leonard Cohen - A PARTISAN |
| When they poured across the border
I was cautioned to surrender,
this I could not do;

I've lost my wife and children
but I have many frien |
| Leonard Cohen - A SINGER MUST DIE |
| Now the courtroom is quiet, but who will confess.
Is it true you betrayed us? The answer is Yes.
Then read me the list of the crimes that are
mine,
I will ask for the mercy that you love to
decline.

| Leonard Cohen - A thousand kisses |
| The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat.

| Leonard Cohen - ALWAYS |
| (By Irving Berlin)
(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...) |
| Leonard Cohen - Because of a few songs |
| Because of a few songs
Wherein I spoke of their mystery,
Women have been
Exceptionally kind
to my old age.
They make a secret place
In their busy lives
And they take me there.
They become naked
In |
| Leonard Cohen - BOOGIE STREET |
| O Crown of Light, O Darkened One,
I never thought we’d meet.
You kiss my lips, and then it’s done:
I’m back on Boogie Street.
A sip of wine, a cigarette,
And then it’s time |
| Leonard Cohen - CLOSING TIME |
| Ah we're drinking and we're dancing
and the band is really happening
and the Johnny Walker wisdom running high
And my very sweet companion
she's the Angel of Compassion
she's rubbing half the world ag |
| Leonard Cohen - Coming back |
| (Angels) You can't do this
You must do what
We must do what must be done

He is asking to be born
I see the curtains parting
That our kisses have outworn ...
(Angels |
| Leonard Cohen - Dance me to the end of love |
| Dance me to your beauty
with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic
till I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch
and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Let me |
| Leonard Cohen - Fingerprints |
| I touched you once too often
Now I don't know who I am
My fingerprints were missing
When I wiped away the jam
Yes I called my fingerprints all night
But they don't seem to care
The last time th |
| Leonard Cohen - HERE IT IS |
| Here is your crown
And your seal and rings;
And here is your love
For all things.
Here is your cart,
And your cardboard and piss;
And here is your love
For all of this.
May everyone live,
And may |
| Leonard Cohen - I left a woman waiting |
| I left a woman waiting
I met her sometime later
She said, I see your eyes are dead
What happened to you, lover?
What happened to you, my lover?
What happened to you, lover?
What happened to you |
| Leonard Cohen - IF IT BE YOUR WILL |
| 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
|
| Leonard Cohen - 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 |
| Leonard Cohen - 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 s |
| Leonard Cohen - 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 |
| Leonard Cohen - STORIES OF THE STREET |
| (from the album 'SONGS OF LEONARD COHEN')
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 sil |
| Leonard Cohen - SUZANNE |
| (from the album 'SONGS OF LEONARD COHEN')
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But tha |
| Leonard Cohen - 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 |
| Leonard Cohen - The window |
| 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
Lo |
| Leonard Cohen - 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 |
| Leonard Cohen - TONIGHT WILL BE FINE |
| Sometimes I find I get to thinking of the past.
We swore to each other then that our love would
surely last.
You kept right on loving, I went on a fast,
now I am too thin and your love is too vast.
But |
| Leonard Cohen - WAITING FOR THE MIRACLE |
| Baby, I've been waiting,
I've been waiting night and day.
I didn't see the time,
I waited half my life away.
There were lots of invitations
and I know you sent me some,
but I was waiting

| Leonard Cohen - WINTER LADY |
| (from the album 'SONGS OF LEONARD COHEN')
Trav'ling lady, stay awhile
until the night is over.
I'm just a station on your way,
I know I'm not your lover.
Well I lived with a child of snow
when I was |
| Leonard Cohen - YOU KNOW WHO I AM |
| I cannot follow you, my love,
you cannot follow me.
I am the distance you put between
all of the moments that we will be.
You know who I am,
you've stared at the sun,
well I am the one who loves
