The Stranger Song - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)[00:00:00]

It's true that all the men you knew were dealers[00:00:03]

Who said they were through with dealing[00:00:06]

Every time you gave them shelter[00:00:09]

I know that kind of man[00:00:14]

It's hard to hold the hand of anyone[00:00:16]

Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender [00:00:19]

Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender [00:00:23]

And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind[00:00:29]

You find he did not leave you very much[00:00:32]

Not even laughter[00:00:36]

Like any dealer he was watching for the card[00:00:39]

That is so high and wild[00:00:43]

Hell never need to deal another[00:00:45]

He was just some joseph looking for a manger[00:00:48]

He was just some joseph looking for a manger [00:00:52]

And then leaning on your window sill[00:00:58]

Hell say one day you caused his will[00:01:01]

To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter[00:01:04]

And then taking from his wallet[00:01:08]

An old schedule of trains hell say[00:01:10]

I told you when I came I was a stranger[00:01:13]

I told you when I came I was a stranger [00:01:17]

But now another stranger seems[00:01:23]

To want you to ignore his dreams[00:01:26]

As though they were the burden of some other[00:01:28]

O you've seen that man before[00:01:32]

His golden arm dispatching cards[00:01:34]

But now it's rusted from the elbow to the finger[00:01:36]

And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter[00:01:41]

Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter [00:01:46]

You hate to watch another tired man[00:01:51]

Lay down his hand[00:01:55]

Like he was giving up the holy game of poker[00:01:56]

And while he talks his dreams to sleep[00:02:01]

You notice theres a highway[00:02:04]

That is curling up like smoke above his shoulder[00:02:05]

Certainly you are looked a little older[00:02:10]

Certainly you are felt a little older[00:02:15]

You tell him to come in sit down[00:02:20]

But something makes you turn around[00:02:23]

The door is open you can't close you shelter[00:02:25]

You try the handle of the road[00:02:30]

It opens do not be afraid[00:02:32]

It's you my love you who are the stranger[00:02:34]

It is you my love you who are the stranger [00:02:39]

Well I've been waiting I was sure[00:02:45]

Wed meet between the trains were waiting for[00:02:47]

I think it's time to board another[00:02:50]

Please understand I never had a secret chart[00:02:52]

To get me to the heart of this[00:02:58]

Or any other matter[00:03:01]

Well he talks like this[00:03:03]

You don't know what he's after[00:03:05]

When he speaks like this [00:03:08]

You don't know what he's after [00:03:09]

Let's meet tomorrow if you chose[00:03:14]

Upon the shore beneath the bridge[00:03:16]

That they are building on some endless river[00:03:18]

Then he leaves the platform[00:03:23]

For the sleeping car that's warm[00:03:25]

You realize he's only advertising one more shelter[00:03:27]

And it comes to you he never was a stranger[00:03:32]

And you say ok the bridge or someplace later [00:03:37]

And then sweeping up the jokers[00:03:40]

That he left behind[00:03:45]

You find he did not leave you very much[00:03:46]

Not even laughter[00:03:49]

Like any dealer he was watching for the card[00:03:53]

That is so high and wild[00:03:56]

Hell never need to deal another[00:03:58]

He was just some joseph looking for a manger[00:04:00]

He was just some joseph looking for a manger [00:04:06]

And leaning on your window sill[00:04:09]

Hell say one day you caused his will[00:04:10]

To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter[00:04:12]

And then taking from his wallet[00:04:17]

An old schedule of trains[00:04:19]

Hell say I told you when I came I was a stranger[00:04:21]

I told you when I came I was a stranger [00:04:26]

I told you when I came I was a stranger[00:04:31]
