Lyrics I Tried to Leave You (Live FM Broadcast 1988) - Leonard Cohen

I tried to leave you, I will 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
You're baby's crying, so you do not go outside
And all your work it's right before your eyes
You tried to leave me, so don't deny
You closed the book, you closed the book, you closed the book on us, at least a hundred times
They use to wake up every morning rigth by my side
The years go by, years and years and years and years go by you lose your pride
So my baby's crying, my new baby's crying, my baby's cryi-i-i-i-i-ing so I do not go outside
And all my work it's right before my e-e-e-e-e-e-e-eyes
Goodnight, my darling, I hope you're satisfied
The bed is kind of narrow, but my arms, my arms, my arms are open wide
And here's a man still working for your smile
