Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye (Live) - Leonard Cohen

I loved you in the morning Our kisses deep and warm Your hair upon the pillow Like a sleepy golden storm Yes, many loved before us I know that we are not new In city and in forest They smiled like me and you But now it's come to distances And both of us must try Your eyes are soft with sorrow Hey, that's no way to say goodbye I'm not looking for another As I wander in my time Walk me to the corner Our steps will always rhyme You know my love goes with you As your love stays with me It's just the way of changes Like the shoreline and the sea But let's not talk of love or chains And things we can't untie Your eyes are soft with sorrow Hey, that's no way to say goodbye I loved you in the morning Our kisses deep and warm, Your hair upon the pillow Like a sleepy golden storm Yes, many loved before us I know that we are not new In city and in forest They smiled like me and you But let's not talk of love or chains And things we can't untie Your eyes are soft with sorrow Hey, that's no way to say goodbye Goodbye

There's no use to pretend We have come to the end All that's left is to say goodbye If I hold you with lies It will show in my eyes All that's left is to say goodbye So when you go I won't stop you But I will remember How deep, how beautiful it was And all this beauty of love that was our love And now leaves me sad I don't want to deny, don't want to betray Don't want to forget Because my love in my life You have been like a day full of sun So when you go I won't stop you But I will remember How deep, how beautiful it was And all this beauty of love that was our love And now leaves me sad I don't want to deny, don't want to betray Don't want to forget Because my love in my life, you have been Like a day full of sun

The road has finally taken you (whoooaa) Where there ain't, where there ain't no more bad news It's a long road to heaven, and it's a rough, it's a rough, rough road to hell It's a long road to heaven, and it's a rough, rough road to hell There's a mistery awaiting us What it is, what it is no one can tell (oooooh, yeah yeah) Play on, play on through the darkest night (oooooh) Play on, play on through the darkest ni-ight The road has finally taken you Where ev'rything, ev'rything is gonna be allright (Ev'rything's gonna be allright: no more pain, no more sorro-oow) End

Field Commander Cohen He was our most important spy Wounded in the line of duty Parachuting acid into diplomatic cocktail parties Urging Fidel Castro to abandon fields and castles Leave it all and like a man Come back to nothing special Such as waiting rooms and ticket lines Silver bullet suicides and messianic ocean tides And racial roller coaster rides And other forms of boredom, advertised as poetry I know you need your sleep now I know your life's been hard But many men are falling Where you promised to stand guard I never asked but I heard You cast your lot along with the poor But then I overheard your prayer That you be this and nothing more Than just some grateful faithful woman's Favorite singing millionaire The patron Saint of Envy and the grocer of despair Working for the Yankee dollar I know you need your sleep now I know your life's been hard But many men are falling Where you promised to stand guard Ah, lover come and lie with me If my lover is who you are And be your sweetest self awhile Until I ask for more, my child Then let the other selves be one, yeah Let them manifest and come 'Til every taste is on the tongue 'Til love is pierced and love is hung And every kind of freedom done Then, oh, my love, oh, my love Oh, my love, oh, my love Oh, my love, oh, my love Oh, my love

אבא, כמה אהבה יש לי אליך אתה לא יודע ואם לא הראיתי מספיק קח עוד שיר שיוכל להסביר מצטער שלא הבנתי את הלב שלך מצטער שלא מצאתי את המילים איתך כי הרי מה שקיבלתי כל זה בזכותך תן לי את היד מבטיח, לא לעזוב אותך אבא אין פה מושלם אבל בשבילי אתה כל העולם גם אם יבואו שנים ללא מילים אני אבין אותך אני הבן שלך קח את הכול זה בכלל שלך תודה על הכול אני אוהב אותך ואף פעם לא כעסתי על הלב שלך אל תדאג כי זו הדרך שכתובה לך והרי מה שנתתי כל זה בשבילך גם אם לא תהיה איתי פה אני תמיד איתך

I set out one night When the tide was low There were signs in the sky But I did not know I'd be caught in the grip Of the undertow Ditched on a beach Where the sea hates to go With a child in my arms And a chill in my soul And my heart the shape Of a begging bowl I set out one night But I did not know I'd be caught in the grip Of the undertow Ditched on a beach Where the sea hates to go With a child in my arms And a chill in my soul And my heart the shape Of a begging bowl

I'm slowing down the tune I've never liked it fast You wanna get there soon I wanna get there last It's not because I'm old It's not the life I led I always liked it slow That's what my Mamma said I'm lacing up my shoes But I don't want to run I'll get there when I do Don't need no starting gun It's not because I'm old And it's not what dying does I've always liked it slow Slow is in my blood I've always liked it slow I never liked it fast With you it's got to go With me it's got to last It's not because I'm old It's not because I'm dead I've always liked it slow That's what my Mamma said All your moves are swift All your turns are tight Let me catch my breath I thought we had all night I like to take my time I like to linger as it flies A weekend on your lips A lifetime in your eyes I've always liked it slow I never liked it fast With you it's got to go With me it's got to last It's not because I'm old It's not the life I led I've always liked it slow That's what my Mamma said I'm slowing down the tune I've never liked it fast You wanna get there soon I wanna get there last So, baby let me go You're wanted back in town In case they want to know I'm just trying to slow it down
