Please baby please baby please

Mitähän tässä lopulta oikein tapahtuu? Vapautuuko ihanasti kiusattu ihanasta kiusaajastaan? Mutta miten, miksi ja mitä? Leonard Cohen - tuo vanha bassobaritoni lankeaa jälleen kerran mystifioimaan feminiinisen, mutta mä komppaan mukana. It's so psychic - (ks. Daphne Moon).

Light as the breeze - Leonard Cohen

she stands before you naked
you can see it, you can taste it
but she comes to you
light as the breeze
you can drink or you can nurse it
it don't matter how you worship
as long as you're
down on your knees

so i knelt there at the delta
at the alpha and the omega
at the cradle of the river
and the seas
fnd like a blessing come from heaven,
for something like a second,
i was healed, and my heart
was at ease

o baby i waited
so long for your kiss
for something to happen
oh - something like this

and you're weak and you're harmless
and you're sleeping in your harness
and the wind going wild
in the trees
and it's not exactly prison
but you'll never be forgiven
for whatever you've done
with the keys

so baby i waited
so long for your kiss
for something to happen
oh - something like this

it's dark and it's snowing
oh my love i must be going
the river is starting to freeze
and i'm sick of pretending
i'm broken from bending
i've lived too long
on my knees

and she dances so graceful
and your heart's hard and hateful
and she's naked
but that's just a tease
and you turn in disgust
from your hatred and from your love
and she comes to you
light as the breeze

o baby i waited
so long for your kiss
for something to happen
oh - something like this

there's blood on every bracelet
you can see it, you can taste it
and it's please baby
please baby please
and she says, drink deeply, pilgrim
but don't forget there's still a woman
beneath this
resplendent chemise

so i knelt at the delta
at the alpha and the omega
i knelt there
like one who believes
and like a blessing come from heaven
for something like a second
i was cured, and my heart
was at ease

o baby i waited
so long for your kiss
for something to happen
oh - something like this

I said to Hank Williams: how lonely does it get? Hank Williams hasn't answered yet

Tämä on ehkä jopa sielukkaampaa kuin perinteinen blues: Leonard Cohen – Tower of Song.

Tower of song

Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey
I ache in the places where I used to play
And Im crazy for love but Im not coming on
Im just paying my rent every day
Oh in the tower of song

I said to Hank Williams: how lonely does it get?
Hank Williams hasnt answered yet
But I hear him coughing all night long
A hundred floors above me
In the tower of song

I was born like this, I had no choice
I was born with the gift of a golden voice
And twenty-seven angels from the great beyond
They tied me to this table right here
In the tower of song

So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
Im very sorry, baby, doesnt look like me at all
Im standing by the window where the light is strong
Ah they dont let a woman kill you
Not in the tower of song

Now you can say that Ive grown bitter but of this you may be sure
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
And theres a mighty judgement coming, but I may be wrong
You see, you hear these funny voices
In the tower of song

I see you standing on the other side
I dont 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
Well never have to lose it again

Now I bid you farewell, I dont know when Ill be back
There moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
But youll be hearing from me baby, long after Im gone
Ill be speaking to you sweetly
From a window in the tower of song

Yeah my friends are gone and my hair is grey
I ache in the places where I used to play
And Im crazy for love but Im not coming on
Im just paying my rent every day
Oh in the tower of song
