Field Commander Cohen (Live at Denver Soundcheck, 2012) - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)

Field commander cohen

He was our most important spy

Wounded in the line of duty

Parachuting acid into diplomatic cocktail parties

Urging fidel castro to abandon fields and castles

Leave it all and like a man

Come back to nothing special

Such as waiting rooms and ticket lines

Silver bullet suicides

Messianic ocean tides

Racial roller-coaster rides

And other forms of boredom advertised as poetry

I know you need your sleep now

I know your lifes been hard

But many men have fallen

Where you promised to stand guard

I never asked but I heard that you

Cast your lot along with the poor

Overheard your prayer

That you be this and nothing more

Than just some grateful faithful womans

Favourite singing millionaire

The patron saint of envy and the grocer of despair

Working for the yankee dollar

I know you need your sleep now

I know your life's been hard

But many men have fallen

Where you promised to stand guard

Oh lover come and lie with me

If my lover is who you really are

And be your sweetest self first

Let them come

Till love is pierced and love is hung

Every taste is on the tongue

And every kind of freedom done then oh

My love

Oh my love

Oh my love

Oh my love
