Leonard Cohen - Lady Midnight (Live) Lyrics

Lyrics Lady Midnight (Live) - Leonard Cohen



Yes, I came by myself to a very crowded place
They were looking for someone who had lines in her face
And I found her there, oh, but she was past all concern
I asked her to hold me, I said, "Lady, unfold me"
But she scorned me and she told me
I was dead and I could 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
The stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold"
"If we cry now," she said, "It will only be ignored"
So I walked through the morning, sweet early morning
I could hear my lady calling
"You've won me, you′ve won me, my lord
Oh, you've won me, you've won me, my lord
You′ve won me, you′ve won me, my lord
And you've won me, you′ve won me, my lord
Ah, you've won me, you′ve won me, my lord"
