Leonard Cohen - Love calls you by your name

Tekst :

You thought that it could never happen
to all the people that you became,
your body lost in legend, the beast so very tame.
But here, right here,
between the birthmark and the stain,
between the ocean and your open vein,
between the snowman and the rain,
once again, once again,
love calls you by your name.
The women in your scrapbook
whom you still praise and blame,
you say they chained you to your fingernails
and you climb the halls of fame.
Oh but here, right here,
between the peanuts and the cage,
between the darkness and the stage,
between the hour and the age,
once again, once again,
love calls you by your name.

Shouldering your loneliness
like a gun that you will not learn to aim,
you stumble into this movie house,
then you climb, you climb into the frame.
Yes, and here, right here
between the moonlight and the lane,
between the tunnel and the train,
between the victim and his stain,
once again, once again,
love calls you by your name.

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.

Where are you, Judy, where are you, Anne?
Where are the paths your heroes came?
Wondering out loud as the bandage pulls away,
was I, was I only limping, was I really lame?
Oh here, come over here,
between the windmill and the grain,
between the sundial and the chain,
between the traitor and her pain,
once again, once again,
love calls you by your name.

    Sorrowful farewell

    Waiting for the crime
    The loss of innocence
    A faint reminiscence
    I m in the twilight
    Surrounded by the night
    The memories have been disgraced
    The scene is still unchanged
    The time is near
    The message is clear
    The battle will...

    More than material

    Don t get mad if I treat me
    To a day I only shop for me
    Don t get mad if I buy the clothes
    That you think are not the style for me
    Who I am is not what I wear
    And what I think has nothing to do with hair
    Love me by what...

    Easy money

    1, 2, 3, 4
    Easy, easy money
    it’s something like a pretty stuff on your line
    easy, easy business
    it’s something like a pretty stuff on your line
    shot down in flames around the world
    you have foundations and you have airplanes
    easy, easy money
    it’s something like a pretty...

    No expectations

    Take me to the station and put me on a train
    I ve got no expectations to pass through here again
    Once I was a rich man and now I am so poor
    But never in my sweet, short life have I felt like this before

    Your heart is like a diamond, you throw...

    Fairytale

    I ll pack up all my things and walk away,
    I don t want to hear another word you have to say
    I ve been waiting for so long,
    And just found out there s something wrong
    Nothing will get better if I stay
    There...
