    letra de Bird On The Wire

    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.
    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 have tried in my way to be free.

  4. So Long, MarianneVer letra

    [X]

    letra de 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 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
    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

  6. You Know Who I AmVer letra

    [X]

    letra de 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
    Changing from nothing to one.
    Sometimes I need you naked,
    Sometimes I need you wild,
    I need you to carry my children in
    And I need you to kill a child.
    You know who I am
    If you should ever track me down
    I will surrender there
    And I will leave with you one broken man
    Whom I will teach you to repair.
    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

  8. Lady MidnightVer letra

    [X]

    letra de 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 hear my 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."

  10. One Of Us Cannot Be WrongVer letra

    [X]

    letra de 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 mosquitoes, 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'd just have to quit
    Then he wrote himself a prescription, 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, 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 gone but 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 tore off 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

  11. The Stranger SongVer letra

    [X]

    letra de The 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 do not 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 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 ...
    And leaning on your window sill ...
    I told you when I came I was a stranger.

  12. Tonight Will Be FineVer letra

    [X]

    letra de 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 I know from your eyes
    And I know from your smile
    That tonight will be fine,
    Will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
    For a while.
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.
    But I know from your eyes
    And I know from your smile
    That tonight will be fine,
    Will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
    For a while.
    Oh sometimes I see her undressing for me,
    She's the soft naked lady love meant her to be
    And she's moving her body so brave and so free.
    If I've got to remember that's a fine memory.
    And I know from her eyes
    And I know from her smile
    That tonight will be fine,
    Will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
    For a while.

  14. Diamonds In The MineVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Diamonds In The Mine

    The woman in blue, she's asking for revenge,
    The man in white -- that's you -- says he has no friends.
    The river is swollen up with rusty cans
    And the trees are burning in your promised land.
    And there are no letters in the mailbox,
    And there are no grapes upon the vine,
    And there are no chocolates in the boxes anymore,
    And there are no diamonds in the mine.
    Well, you tell me that your lover has a broken limb,
    You say you're kind of restless now and it's on account of him.
    Well, I saw the man in question, it was just the other night,
    He was eating up a lady where the lions and Christians fight.
    And there are no letters in the mailbox
    And there are no grapes upon the vine,
    And there are no chocolates in the boxes anymore,
    And there are no diamonds in the mine.
    (You tell them now)
    Ah, there is no comfort in the covens of the witch,
    Some very clever doctor went and sterilized the bitch,
    And the only man of energy, yes the revolution's pride,
    He trained a hundred women just to kill an unborn child.
    And there are no letters in the mailbox,
    Oh no, there are no, no grapes upon your vine,
    And there are, there are no chocolates in your boxes anymore,
    And there are no diamonds in your mine.
    And there are no letters in the mailbox,
    And there are no grapes upon the vine,
    And there are no chocolates in your boxes anymore,
    And there are no diamonds in your mine.

    [X]

    letra de Sing Another Song, Boys

    (Let's sing another song, boys, this one has grown old and bitter.)
    Ah his fingernails, I see they're broken,
    His ships they're all on fire.
    The moneylender's lovely little daughter
    Ah, she's eaten, she's eaten with desire.
    She spies him through the glasses
    From the pawnshops of her wicked father.
    She hails him with a microphone
    That some poor singer, just like me, had to leave her.
    She tempts him with a clarinet,
    She waves a Nazi dagger.
    She finds him lying in a heap;
    She wants to be his woman.
    He says, "Yes, I might go to sleep
    But kindly leave, leave the future,
    Leave it open. "
    He stands where it is steep,
    Oh I guess he thinks that he's the very first one,
    His hand upon his leather belt now
    Like it was the wheel of some big ocean liner.
    And she will learn to touch herself so well
    As all the sails burn down like paper.
    And he has lit the chain
    Of his famous cigarillo.
    Ah, they'll never, they'll never ever reach the moon,
    At least not the one that we're after;
    It's floating broken on the open sea, look out there, my friends,
    And it carries no survivors.
    But lets leave these lovers wondering
    Why they cannot have each other,
    And let's sing another song, boys,
    This one has grown old and bitter.

    letra de The Partisan

    Leonard Cohen - The Partisan
    The Partisan
    When they poured across the border
    I was cautioned to surrender,
    This I could not do;
    I took my gun and vanished.
    I have changed my name so often,
    I've lost my wife and children
    But I have many friends,
    And some of them are with me.
    An old woman gave us shelter,
    Kept us hidden in the garret,
    Then the soldiers came;
    She died without a whisper.
    There were three of us this morning
    I'm the only one this evening
    But I must go on;
    The frontiers are my prison.
    Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
    Through the graves the wind is blowing,
    Freedom soon will come;
    Then we'll come from the shadows.
    Les allemands e'taient chez moi,
    Ils me dirent, "r�©signe toi,"
    Mais je n'ai pas peur;
    J'ai repris mon �¢me.
    The germans were at my home
    They said, "sign yourself,"
    But I am not afraid
    I have retaken my soul.
    J'ai change' cent fois de nom,
    J'ai perdu femme et enfants
    Mais j'ai tant d'amis;
    J'ai la france entie're.
    I've changed names a hundred times
    I have lost wife and children
    But I have so many friends
    I have all of france
    Un vieil homme dans un grenier
    Pour la nuit nous a cache',
    Les allemands l'ont pris;
    Il est mort sans surprise.
    An old man, in an attic
    Hid us for the night
    The Germans captured him
    He died without surprise.
    Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
    Through the graves the wind is blowing,
    Freedom soon will come;
    Then we'll come from the shadows.

    [X]

    letra de Famous Blue Raincoat

    It's four in the morning, the end of December
    I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
    New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
    There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
    I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
    You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record.
    Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
    She said that you gave it to her
    That night that you planned to go clear
    Did you ever go clear?
    Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
    Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
    You'd been to the station to meet every train
    And you came home without Lili Marlene
    And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
    And when she came back she was nobody's wife.
    Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
    One more thin gypsy thief
    Well I see Jane's awake
    She sends her regards.
    And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
    What can I possibly say?
    I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
    I'm glad you stood in my way.
    If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
    Well your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.
    Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
    I thought it was there for good so I never tried.
    And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
    She said that you gave it to her
    That night that you planned to go clear
    Sincerely L Cohen

  19. Seems So Long Ago, NancyVer letra

    [X]

    letra de 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 none of 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.
