Leonard Cohen, Dublin 2009
And you want to travel with her, You want to travel blind, |
And you know she'll find you For she's touched your perfect body with her mind |
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin, Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in |
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove, Dance me to the end of love |
Baby I've been here before, I've seen this room and I've walked this floor. I used to live alone before I knew you. |
I've seen your flag on the marble arch, But love is not a victory march, It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah |
Hallelujah, Hallelujah - - - |
Hallelujah, Hallelujah - - - |
|
|
Won't you come over to the window, my little darling? I'd like to try to read your palm |
So long MeriAnne, it's time we began to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again |
I知 turning tricks, I知 getting fixed, I知 back on Boogie Street. You lose your grip, and then you slip Into the Masterpiece. |
And maybe I had miles to drive, And promises to keep: You ditch it all to stay alive, A Thousand Kisses Deep. |
