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

Its true that all the men you knew were dealers[00:00:04]

Who said they were through with dealing[00:00:08]

Every time you gave them shelter[00:00:10]

I know that kind of man[00:00:15]

Its hard to hold the hand of anyone[00:00:17]

Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender [00:00:20]

Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender [00:00:25]

And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind[00:00:31]

You find he did not leave you very much[00:00:35]

Not even laughter[00:00:38]

Like any dealer he was watching for the card[00:00:41]

That is so high and wild[00:00:45]

Hell never need to deal another[00:00:47]

He was just some joseph looking for a manger[00:00:51]

He was just some joseph looking for a manger [00:00:56]

And then leaning on your window sill[00:01:03]

Hell say one day you caused his will[00:01:06]

To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter[00:01:08]

And then taking from his wallet[00:01:13]

An old schedule of trains hell say[00:01:16]

I told you when I came I was a stranger[00:01:18]

But now another stranger seems to want you to ignore his dreams[00:01:24]

As though they were the burden of some other[00:01:30]

O youve seen that man before[00:01:35]

His golden arm dispatching cards[00:01:37]

But now its rusted from the elbow to the finger[00:01:39]

And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter[00:01:45]

Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter [00:01:50]

You hate to watch another tired man[00:01:56]

Lay down his hand[00:02:00]

Like he was giving up the holy game of poker[00:02:01]

And while he talks his dreams to sleep[00:02:06]

You notice theres a highway[00:02:09]

That is curling up like smoke above his shoulder[00:02:11]

Its curling up like smoke above his shoulder [00:02:16]

You tell him to come in sit down[00:02:23]

But something makes you turn around[00:02:25]

The door is open you can't close you shelter[00:02:28]

You try the handle of the road[00:02:33]

It opens do not be afraid[00:02:35]

Its you my love you who are the stranger[00:02:38]

It is you my love you who are the stranger [00:02:43]

Well I've been waiting I was sure[00:02:49]

Wed meet between the trains were waiting for[00:02:52]

I think its time to board another[00:02:55]

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

To get me to the heart of this[00:03:04]

Or any other matter[00:03:06]

Well he talks like this[00:03:10]

You don't know what hes after[00:03:11]

When he speaks like this [00:03:15]

You don't know what hes after [00:03:16]

Lets meet tomorrow if you chose[00:03:21]

Upon the shore beneath the bridge[00:03:24]

That they are building on some endless river[00:03:27]

Then he leaves the platform[00:03:32]

For the sleeping car thats warm[00:03:33]

You realize hes only advertising one more shelter[00:03:35]

And it comes to you he never was a stranger[00:03:42]

And you say ok the bridge or someplace later [00:03:47]

And then sweeping up the jokers[00:03:53]

That he left behind[00:03:55]

You find he did not leave you very much[00:03:57]

Not even laughter[00:04:00]

Like any dealer he was watching for the card[00:04:03]

That is so high and wild[00:04:07]

Hell never need to deal another[00:04:09]

He was just some joseph looking for a manger[00:04:14]

He was just some joseph looking for a manger [00:04:19]

And leaning on your window sill[00:04:25]

Hell say one day you caused his will[00:04:28]

To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter[00:04:30]

And then taking from his wallet[00:04:35]

An old schedule of trains[00:04:38]

Hell say I told you when I came I was a stranger[00:04:40]

I told you when I came I was a stranger[00:04:46]
