Versurile Leonard Cohen - STORIES OF THE STREET
Versuri STORIES OF THE STREET
(from the album 'SONGS OF LEONARD COHEN')
The stories of the street are mine, the Spanish
voices laugh.
The Cadillacs go creeping now through the night
and the poison gas,
and I lean from my window sill in this old hotel
I chose,
yes one hand on my suicide, one hand on the rose.
I know you've heard it's over now and war must
surely come,
the cities they are broke in half and the middle
men are gone.
But let me ask you one more time, O children of
the dusk,
All these hunters who are shrieking now oh do
they speak for us?
And where do all these highways go, now that we
are free?
Why are the armies marching still that were
coming home to me?
O lady with your legs so fine O stranger at your
wheel,
You are locked into your suffering and your
pleasures are the seal.
The age of lust is giving birth, and both the
parents ask
the nurse to tell them fairy tales on both sides
of the glass.
And now the infant with his cord is hauled in
like a kite,
and one eye filled with blueprints, one eye
filled with night.
O come with me my little one, we will find that
farm
and grow us grass and apples there and keep all
the animals warm.
And if by chance I wake at night and I ask you
who I am,
O take me to the slaughterhouse, I will wait
there with the lamb.
With one hand on the hexagram and one hand on the
girl
I balance on a wishing well that all men call the
world.
We are so small between the stars, so large
against the sky,
and lost among the subway crowds I try to catch
your eye.
