Death Of A Ladies' Man - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)[00:00:00]
Ah the man she wanted all her life was hanging by a thread[00:00:39]
"I never even knew how much I wanted you " she said [00:00:46]
His muscles they were numbered and his style was obsolete [00:00:54]
"O baby I have come too late " She knelt beside his feet [00:01:03]
"I'll never see a face like yours in years of men to come[00:01:16]
I'll never see such arms again in wrestling or in love "[00:01:24]
And all his virtues burning in the smoky Holocaust[00:01:32]
She took unto herself most everything her lover lost[00:01:40]
Now the master of this landscape he was standing at the view[00:02:16]
With a sparrow of St Francis that he was preaching to[00:02:22]
She beckoned to the sentry of his high religious mood[00:02:26]
She said "I'll make a place between my legs [00:02:29]
I'll show you solitude "[00:02:32]
He offered her an orgy in a many mirrored room[00:02:47]
He promised her protection for the issue of her womb[00:02:55]
She moved her body hard against a sharpened metal spoon[00:03:03]
She stopped the bloody rituals of passage to the moon[00:03:11]
She took his much admired oriental frame of mind[00:04:04]
And the heart-of-darkness alibi his money hides behind[00:04:12]
She took his blonde madonna and his monastery wine --[00:04:20]
"This mental space is occupied and everything is mine "[00:04:28]
He tried to make a final stand beside the railway track[00:04:44]
She said "The art of longing's over and it's never coming back "[00:04:52]
She took his tavern parliament his cap his cocky dance [00:05:00]
She mocked his female fashions and his working-class moustache [00:05:08]
The last time that I saw him he was trying hard to get[00:05:41]
A woman's education but he's not a woman yet[00:05:44]
And the last time that I saw her she was living with some boy[00:05:46]
Who gives her soul an empty room and gives her body joy [00:05:52]
So the great affair is over but whoever would have guessed[00:06:12]
It would leave us all so vacant and so deeply unimpressed[00:06:21]
It's like our visit to the moon or to that other star[00:06:32]
I guess you go for nothing if you really want to go that far [00:06:42]
It's like our visit to the moon or to that other star[00:06:54]
I guess you go for nothing if you really want to go that far [00:07:36]
It's like our visit to the moon or to that other star[00:08:33]
I guess you go for nothing if you really want to go that far[00:08:36]
