I CAN’T FORGET

Sunday, May 1st, 2011

I stumbled out of bed
I got ready for the struggle
I smoked a cigarette
And I tightened up my gut
I said this can’t be me
Must be my double
And I can’t forget, I can’t forget
I can’t forget but I don’t remember what

I’m burning up the road
I’m heading down to Phoenix
I...

ONE OF US CANNOT BE WRONG

Wednesday, December 8th, 2010

(from the album ‘SONGS OF LEONARD COHEN’)

I lit a thin green candle, to make you jealous of me.
But the room just filled up with mosquitos,
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...

That Don’t Make It Junk

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

I fought against the bottle, but i had to do it drunk
Took my diamond to the pawn show, but that dont make it junk
I know that im forgiven, but i dont know how i know
I dont trust my innerfeelings, you know feelings come and go

how come you called me here tonight?
how come you bother with my heart at all?
you raised me up in grace,

I LEFT A WOMAN WAITING

Saturday, August 7th, 2010

I left a woman waiting
I met her sometime later
She said, I see your eyes are dead
What happened to you, lover?
What happened to you, my lover?
What happened to you, lover?
What happened to you?

And since she spoke the truth to me
I tried to answer truthfully
Whatever happened to my eyes
Happened to your beauty

THE LAW

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

How many times did you call me
And I knew it was late
I left everybody
But I never went straight
I don’t claim to be guilty
But I do understand
There’s a Law, there’s an Arm, there’s a Hand
There’s a Law, there’s an Arm, there’s a Hand

Now my heart’s like a blister
From...

MINUTE PROLOGUE

Friday, July 16th, 2010

I’ve been listening
to all the dissention.
I’ve been listening
to all the pain.

And I feel that no matter
what I do for you,
it’s going to come back again.
But I think that I can heal it,
but I think that I can heal it,
I’m a fool, but I think I can heal it
with this song.

HUNTER’S LULLABY

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

Your father’s gone a-hunting
He’s deep in the forest so wild
And he cannot take his wife with him
He cannot take his child

Your father’s gone a-hunting
In the quicksand and the clay
And a woman cannot follow him
Although she knows the way

Your father’s gone a-hunting
Through the silver and...

ANTHEM

Friday, June 18th, 2010

The birds they sang
at the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don’t dwell on what
has passed away
or what is yet to be.

Ah the wars they will
be fought again
The holy dove
She will be caught again
bought and sold
and bought again
the dove is never free.

Ring the bells that still...

WAITING FOR THE MIRACLE

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Baby, I’ve been waiting,
I’ve been waiting night and day.
I didn’t see the time,
I waited half my life away.
There were lots of invitations
and I know you sent me some,
but I was waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.

I know you really loved me.
but, you see, my hands were tied.
I...
