Closing Time - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)[00:00:00]
Ah we're drinking and we're dancing[00:00:20]
And the band is really happening[00:00:22]
And the Johnny Walker wisdom running high[00:00:24]
And my very sweet companion[00:00:29]
She's the Angel of Compassion[00:00:32]
She's rubbing half the world against her thigh[00:00:34]
And every drinker every dancer[00:00:37]
Lifts a happy face to thank her[00:00:40]
The fiddler fiddles something so sublime[00:00:42]
All the women tear their blouses off[00:00:47]
And the men they dance on the polka-dots[00:00:49]
And it's partner found it's partner lost[00:00:52]
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops[00:00:54]
It's Closing Time[00:00:58]
Yeah the women tear their blouses off[00:01:01]
And the men they dance on the polka-dots[00:01:03]
And it's partner found it's partner lost[00:01:05]
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops[00:01:07]
It's Closing Time[00:01:12]
Ah we're lonely we're romantic[00:01:20]
And the cider's laced with acid[00:01:23]
And the Holy Spirit's crying Where's the beef[00:01:25]
And the moon is swimming naked[00:01:29]
And the summer night is fragrant[00:01:33]
With a mighty expectation of relief[00:01:35]
So we struggle and we stagger[00:01:38]
Down the snakes and up the ladder[00:01:41]
To the tower where the blessed hours chime[00:01:43]
And I swear it happened just like this[00:01:47]
A sigh a cry a hungry kiss[00:01:50]
The Gates of Love they budged an inch[00:01:52]
I can't say much has happened since[00:01:54]
But Closing Time[00:01:56]
I swear it happened just like this[00:02:01]
A sigh a cry a hungry kiss[00:02:03]
The Gates of Love they budged an inch[00:02:05]
I can't say much has happened since[00:02:07]
Closing Time[00:02:14]
I loved you for your beauty[00:02:23]
But that doesn't make a fool of me[00:02:26]
You were in it for your beauty too[00:02:29]
And I loved you for your body[00:02:32]
There's a voice that sounds like God to me[00:02:34]
Declaring declaring declaring that your body's really you[00:02:37]
And I loved you when our love was blessed[00:02:46]
And I love you now there's nothing left[00:02:48]
But sorrow and a sense of overtime[00:02:50]
And I missed you since the place got wrecked[00:02:54]
And I just don't care what happens next[00:02:57]
Looks like freedom but it feels like death[00:02:59]
It's something in between I guess[00:03:01]
It's Closing Time[00:03:03]
Yeah I missed you since the place got wrecked[00:03:08]
By the winds of change and the weeds of sex[00:03:10]
Looks like freedom but it feels like death[00:03:13]
It's something in between I guess[00:03:15]
It's Closing Time[00:03:16]
Yeah we're drinking and we're dancing[00:03:27]
But there's nothing really happening[00:03:29]
And the place is dead as Heaven on a Saturday night[00:03:31]
And my very close companion[00:03:36]
Gets me fumbling gets me laughing[00:03:38]
She's a hundred but she's wearing[00:03:41]
Something tight[00:03:43]
And I lift my glass to the Awful Truth[00:03:45]
Which you can't reveal to the Ears of Youth[00:03:47]
Except to say it isn't worth a dime[00:03:50]
And the whole damn place goes crazy twice[00:03:54]
And it's once for the devil and once for Christ[00:03:56]
But the Boss don't like these dizzy heights[00:03:59]
We're busted in the blinding lights[00:04:01]
Of Closing Time[00:04:03]
The whole damn place goes crazy twice[00:04:07]
And it's once for the devil and once for Christ[00:04:09]
But the Boss don't like these dizzy heights[00:04:11]
We're busted in the blinding lights[00:04:14]
Busted in the blinding lights[00:04:16]
Of Closing Time[00:04:20]
Oh the women tear their blouses off the men they dance on The polka-dots[00:04:29]
It's Closing Time[00:04:33]
And it's partner found it's partner lost[00:04:38]
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops[00:04:40]
It's Closing Time[00:04:42]
I swear it happened just like this[00:04:46]
A sigh a cry a hungry kiss[00:04:49]
It's Closing Time[00:04:51]
The Gates of Love they budged an inch[00:04:55]
I can't say much has happened since[00:04:57]
But Closing Time[00:05:00]
I loved you when our love was blessed[00:05:04]
I love you now there's nothing left[00:05:06]
But Closing Time[00:05:08]
I miss you since the place got wrecked But Closing Time[00:05:13]
