Take This Waltz (Live at Massey Hall, Toronto, Canada 9th Nov 1988) - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)[00:00:00]
Written by:Garcia Lorca/Leonard Cohen[00:00:02]
Now in Vienna there's ten pretty women[00:00:04]
There's a shoulder where Death comes to cry[00:00:10]
There's a lobby with nine hundred windows[00:00:15]
There's a tree where the doves go to die[00:00:20]
There's a piece that was torn from the morning[00:00:26]
And it hangs in the Gallery of Frost[00:00:31]
Ay ay ay ay[00:00:36]
Take this waltz take this waltz[00:00:41]
Take this waltz with the clamp on it's jaws[00:00:46]
Oh I want you I want you I want you[00:00:57]
On a chair with a dead magazine[00:01:02]
In the cave at the tip of the lily[00:01:07]
In some hallways where love's never been[00:01:12]
On a bed where the moon has been sweating[00:01:18]
In a cry filled with footsteps and sand[00:01:23]
Ay ay ay ay[00:01:29]
Take this waltz take this waltz[00:01:33]
Take its broken waist in your hand[00:01:38]
This waltz this waltz this waltz this waltz[00:01:49]
With it's very own breath of brandy and Death[00:01:55]
Dragging it's tail in the sea[00:02:00]
There's a concert hall in Vienna[00:02:07]
Where your mouth had a thousand reviews[00:02:13]
There's a bar where the boys have stopped talking[00:02:18]
They've been sentenced to death by the blues[00:02:23]
Ah but who is it climbs to your picture[00:02:29]
With a garland of freshly cut tears[00:02:34]
Ay ay ay ay[00:02:40]
Take this waltz take this waltz[00:02:44]
Take this waltz it's been dying for years[00:02:49]
There's an attic where children are playing[00:03:00]
Where I've got to lie down with you soon[00:03:05]
In a dream of Hungarian lanterns[00:03:10]
In the mist of some sweet afternoon[00:03:16]
And I'll see what you've chained to your sorrow[00:03:21]
All your sheep and your lilies of snow[00:03:25]
Ay ay ay ay[00:03:32]
Take this waltz take this waltz[00:03:36]
With it's I'll never forget you you know[00:03:41]
This waltz this waltz this waltz this waltz[00:03:52]
With its very own breath of brandy and Death[00:03:57]
Dragging its tail in the sea[00:04:03]
And I'll dance with you in Vienna[00:04:10]
I'll be wearing a river's disguise[00:04:16]
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder[00:04:21]
My mouth on the dew of your thighs[00:04:27]
And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook[00:04:32]
With the photographs there and the moss[00:04:37]
And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty[00:04:42]
My cheap violin and my cross[00:04:48]
And you'll carry me down on your dancing[00:04:53]
To the pools that you lift on your wrist[00:04:58]
Oh my love oh my love[00:05:03]
Take this waltz take this waltz[00:05:08]
It's yours now it's all that there is[00:05:13]
La la la la la la[00:05:26]
La la la la la la[00:05:31]
La la la la la la[00:05:36]
La la la[00:05:41]
