Field Commander Cohen - Leonard Cohen

Field Commander Cohen LRC歌词

[00:02.640]Field commander cohen,

[00:05.550]he was our most important spy.

[00:12.900]Wounded in the line of duty,

[00:17.940]Parachuting acid into diplomatic cocktail parties,

[00:27.680]Urging fidel castro to abandon fields and castles.

[00:35.970]Leave it all and like a man,

[00:40.620]Come back to nothing special,

[00:45.250]Such as waiting rooms and ticket lines,

[00:49.080]and Silver bullet suicides,

[00:52.520]And messianic ocean tides,

[00:55.940]And racial roller-coaster rides

[00:59.560]And other forms of boredom advertised as poetry.

[01:12.980]I know you need your sleep now,

[01:16.480]I know your lifes been hard.

[01:22.320]But many men have fallen

[01:25.190]Where you promised to stand guard.

[01:30.640]I never asked but I heard that you

[01:35.270]cast your lot along with the poor.

[01:42.280]Have I overheard your prayer,

[01:47.150]That you be this and nothing more

[01:51.120]Than just some grateful faithful womans

[01:56.980]favourite singing millionaire,

[02:00.980]The patron saint of envy and the grocer of despair,

[02:12.220]Working for the yankee dollar.

[02:41.800]I know you need your sleep now

[02:45.500]I know your life's been hard

[02:50.490]But many men are falling

[02:53.420]Where you promised to stand guard

[02:58.540]Ah, lover come and lie with me,

[03:03.500]if my lover is who you really are,

[03:10.290]And be your sweetest self awhile

[03:15.410]until I ask for more, my child.

[03:19.220]Then let the other selves be wrong,

[03:23.970]yeah, let them manifest and come

[03:30.440]Till love is pierced and love is hung,

[03:34.930]Til every taste is on the tongue

[03:39.780]And every kind of freedom done, then oh,

[03:45.380]Oh my love

[03:49.470]Oh my love, oh my love, oh my love.
