The Traitor - Leonard Cohen[00:00:00]

Now the swan it floated[00:00:22]

On the english river[00:00:25]

Ah the rose of high romance[00:00:32]

It opened wide[00:00:37]

A sun tanned woman yearned me[00:00:42]

Through the summer[00:00:46]

And the judges watched us[00:00:51]

From the other side[00:00:54]

I told my mother mother[00:01:01]

I must leave you[00:01:05]

Preserve my room[00:01:10]

But do not shed a tear[00:01:12]

Should rumour of a shabby[00:01:19]

Ending reach you[00:01:24]

It was half my fault[00:01:28]

And half the atmosphere[00:01:31]

But the rose I sickened[00:01:38]

With a scarlet fever[00:01:41]

And the swan I tempted[00:01:47]

With a sense of shame[00:01:50]

She said at last[00:01:57]

I was her finest lover[00:01:59]

And if she withered[00:02:06]

I would be to blame[00:02:08]

The judges said you missed it[00:02:16]

By a fraction[00:02:21]

Rise up and brace[00:02:25]

Your troops for the attack[00:02:27]

Ah the dreamers ride[00:02:34]

Against the men of action[00:02:37]

Oh see the men of action[00:02:43]

Falling back[00:02:48]

But I lingered on her thighs[00:02:52]

A fatal moment[00:02:56]

I kissed her lips[00:03:02]

As though I thirsted still[00:03:04]

My falsity had stung me[00:03:11]

Like a hornet[00:03:15]

The poison sank[00:03:20]

And it paralysed my will[00:03:21]

I could not move to warn[00:03:29]

All the younger soldiers[00:03:32]

That they had been[00:03:37]

Deserted from above[00:03:40]

So on battlefields[00:03:46]

From here to barcelona[00:03:49]

I'm listed with the enemies of love[00:03:55]

And long ago she said[00:04:07]

I must be leaving [00:04:10]

Ah but keep my body here to lie upon[00:04:16]

You can move it up[00:04:25]

And down and when I'm sleeping[00:04:27]

Run some wire through[00:04:34]

That rose and wind the swan[00:04:37]

So daily I renew my idle duty[00:04:44]

I touch her here and there[00:04:53]

I know my place[00:04:57]

I kiss her open mouth[00:05:02]

And I praise her beauty[00:05:05]

And people call me traitor to my face[00:05:10]
