Leonard Cohen - Came so far for beauty

Tekst :

I came so far for beauty left
so much behind
My patience and my family
My masterpiece unsigned
I thought I d be rewarded
For such a lonely choice
And surely she would answer
To such a very hopeless voice
I practiced on my sainthood
I gave to one and all
But the rumours of my virtue
They moved her not at all
I changed my style to silver
I changed my clothes to black
And where I would surrender
Now I would attack
I stormed the old casino
For the money and the flesh
And I myself decided
What was rotten and what was fresh
And men to do my bidding
And broken bones to teach
The value of my pardon
The shadow of my reach
But no, I could not touch her
With such a heavy hand
Her star beyond my order
Her nakedness unmanned
I came so far for beauty
I left so much behind
My patience and my family
My masterpiece unsigned

  • You have loved enough
  • Who by fire
  • Song of destruction
  • On that day
  • In my secret life
  • Teachers
  • Love calls you by your name
  • The third invention
  • You know who i am
  • The smokey life
  • Here it is
  • One of us cannot be wrong

    Just a chance

    Doesn t matter what you think I do
    All I wanna do is see it through
    You may say it s not a great romance
    But all I want from you is just a chance to try
    Any way at all
    Don t you think we know it has to hurt
    Are minds that small?

    I won...

    Apology

    You Ride to Work
    And Say I Love You
    To Heal This Pain
    I m Dying to
    Your Words Are Flames
    That Feels Like Fire Out For Me
    To See You Smile
    Is All I Ever Wanted to See
    For Me

    The smokey life

    I ve never seen your eyes so wide
    I ve never seen your appetite quite this occupied
    Elsewhere is your feast of love
    I know ... where long ago we agreed to keep it light
    So lets be married one more night
    It s light,...

    Home on christmas day

    And now that winter s here
    Soon it will be Christmas.
    I see your face so clear
    Though you re far away.
    Your home is in my heart,
    It s every where I go
    And I ll be waiting here
    Til you re home to stay

    I think of Winters past
    When we were together.
    The sweetest memories
    All come...

    Me and you

    Feel me,
    make it all come true,
    time s changed,
    between me and you.

    Bring it all together,
    break it all down,
    nothing s quite forever,
    sometimes upside down...

    It s me and you,
    revolutionary true,
    colours will...
