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

Written by：Leonard Cohen[00:00:00]

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

Were dealers[00:00:04]

Who said they were through with dealing[00:00:05]

Every time you gave them shelter[00:00:08]

I know that kind of man[00:00:13]

It's hard to hold the hand of anyone[00:00:15]

Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender[00:00:18]

Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender[00:00:24]

And then sweeping up the jokers[00:00:31]

That he left behind[00:00:34]

You find he did not leave you very much[00:00:36]

Not even laughter[00:00:39]

Like any dealer he was watching for the card[00:00:43]

That is so high and wild[00:00:47]

Hell never need to deal another[00:00:49]

He was just some Joseph looking[00:00:54]

For a manger[00:00:57]

He was just some Joseph looking for a manger[00:01:00]

And then leaning on your window sill[00:01:07]

Hell say one day you caused his will[00:01:10]

To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter[00:01:13]

And then taking from his wallet[00:01:19]

An old schedule of trains sayhell[00:01:22]

I told you when I came I was a stranger[00:01:25]

I told you when I came I was a stranger[00:01:30]

Ow but now another stranger seems[00:01:37]

To want you to ignore his dreams[00:01:41]

As though they were the burden of some other[00:01:43]

If seen that man before[00:01:49]

His golden arm dispatching cards[00:01:51]

But now it's rusted[00:01:54]

From the elbow to the finger[00:01:56]

And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter[00:02:01]

Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter[00:02:06]

I I hate to watch another tired man[00:02:13]

Lay down his hand[00:02:17]

Like he was giving up[00:02:18]

The holy game of poker[00:02:21]

And while he talks his dreams to sleep[00:02:25]

You notice theres a[00:02:28]

Highway[00:02:29]

That is curling up like smoke above his shoulder[00:02:30]

It's curling dislikes smoke above his shoulder[00:02:36]

Well you tell you to come in sit down[00:02:43]

But something makes you turn around[00:02:46]

The door is open[00:02:49]

You can't close you shelter[00:02:51]

You try the handle of the road[00:02:55]

It opens do not be afraid[00:02:57]

It's you my love you[00:03:00]

Who are the stranger[00:03:03]

It is you my love you[00:03:06]

Who are the stranger[00:03:08]

Well Ive been waiting I was sure[00:03:13]

Wed meet between the trains were waiting for[00:03:16]

I think it's time to board another[00:03:20]

Please understand I never had a secret chart[00:03:25]

To get me[00:03:29]

To the heart of this[00:03:30]

Or any other matter[00:03:32]

Well he talks like this[00:03:36]

You don't know what he's after[00:03:37]

When he speaks like this[00:03:42]

You don't know what he's after[00:03:43]

Lets meet tomorrow if you chose[00:03:49]

Upon the shore beneath the bridge[00:03:52]

That they are building on some endless river[00:03:55]

Then he leaves the platform[00:04:00]

For the sleeping car thats warm[00:04:02]

You realize he's only advertising one more shelter[00:04:05]

And it comes to you he never was a stranger[00:04:11]

And you say ok the bridge or someplace later[00:04:17]

And then sweeping up the jokers[00:04:24]

That he left behind[00:04:27]

You find he did not leave you very much[00:04:28]

Not even laughter[00:04:32]

Like any dealer he was watching for the card[00:04:35]

That is so high and wild[00:04:40]

Hell never need to deal another[00:04:42]

He was just some Joseph looking for a manger[00:04:47]

He was just some Joseph looking for a manger[00:04:52]

And leaning on your window sill[00:04:59]

Hell say one day you caused his will[00:05:02]

To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter[00:05:05]

And taking from his wallet[00:05:11]

An old schedule of trains[00:05:14]

Hell say I told you when I came I was a stranger[00:05:16]

I told you when I came I was a stranger[00:05:23]

I told you when I came I was a stranger[00:05:28]
