Leonard Cohen - Songs From A Room

Leonard Cohen - Songs From A Room Lyrics

Leonard Cohen - Lady Midnight Lyrics

I came by myself to a very crowded place
I was looking for someone who had lines in her face

He was slaughtering a lamb
I accused him there
With his tortured lamb

Even damnation is poisoned with rainbow
All the brave young men they're waiting now to see a signal
Which some killer will be lighting for pay

Leonard Cohen - A Bunch Of Lonesome Heroes Lyrics

Were smoking out along the open road
The night was very dark and thick between them
Each man beneath his ordinary load
