Best Leonard Cohen Lyrics

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 

“Coming Back To You”

 

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born 
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn 
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn 

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born 
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn 
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn 

 

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. 

“You Know Who I Am”

There is a war between the rich and poor, 
a war between the man and the woman. 
There is a war between the left and right, 
a war between the black and white, 
a war between the odd and the even. 

“There Is A War”

 

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. 

“Tonight Will Be Fine”

 

I tried to leave you, I don’t deny 
I closed the book on us, at least a hundred times. 
I’d wake up every morning by your side. 
The years go by, you lose your pride. 
The baby’s crying, so you do not go outside, 
and all your work it’s right before your eyes. 

“I Tried To Leave You”

 

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 

“If It Be Your Will”

 

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. 

“Light As The Breeze”

 

So We’re dancing close, the band is playing Stardust 
Balloons and paper streamers 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
 
“Memories”

 

You were Marlon Brando, 
I was Steve McQueen. 
You were K.Y. Jelly, 
I was Vaseline. 
You were the father of modern medicine, 
I was Mr. Clean. 
You where the whore and the beast of Babylon, 
I was Rin Tin Tin. 

“Is This What You Wanted”

 

I’ll try to say a little more:
Love went on and on
Until it reached an open door –
Then Love Itself
Love Itself was gone.

“Love Itself”

 

Everybody knows that you love me baby 
Everybody knows that you really do 
Everybody knows that you’ve been faithful 
Ah give or take a night or two 
Everybody knows you’ve been discreet 
But there were so many people you just had to meet 
Without your clothes 
And everybody knows 

“Everybody Knows”

 

I dreamed about you, baby. 
It was just the other night. 
Most of you was naked 
Ah but some of you was light. 
The sands of time were falling 
from your fingers and your thumb, 
and you were waiting 
for the miracle, for the miracle to come 

“Waiting For The Miracle”

 

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 

“The Gypsy’s Wife”

 

If the stars were all unpinned
And a cold and bitter wind
Swallowed up the world without a trace
Ah, well that’s where I would be
What my life would seem to me
If I couldn’t lift the veil and see your face

“If I Didn’t Have Your Love”

 

I see you standing on the other side
I don’t know how the river got so wide
I loved you baby, way back when
And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed
But I feel so close to everything that we lost
We’ll never, we’ll never have to lose it again

“Tower Of Song”

 

Sometimes I’d head for the highway
I’m old and the mirrors don’t lie
But crazy has places to hide in
That are deeper than any goodbye

“Crazy To Love You”

 

I leave the lady meditating 
on the very love which I, I do not wish to claim, 
I journey down the hundred steps, 
but the street is still the very same. 
And here, right here, 
between the dancer and his cane, 
between the sailboat and the drain, 
between the newsreel and your tiny pain, 
once again, once again, 
love calls you by your name. 

“Love Calls You By Your Name”

 

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.

 

“Hey, That’s No Way To Say Goodbye”

 

If you want a lover 
I’ll do anything you ask me to 
And if you want another kind of love 
I’ll wear a mask for you

“I’m Your Man”
