Leonard Cohen - Lady Midnight
I came by myself to 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 told me
I was dead and I would 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,
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,
the sweet early morning
I could hear my lady calling,
"You've won me, you've won me,my lord."
