A Song for Leonard Cohen

A Song for Leonard Cohen - Amanda Shires

I wish that I

Could buy you a drink

And then more and then five

I'd get you drunk

And I'd get me outgoing

All week or just this one night

And then maybe we

Could go

For a walk

And I'd just listen while you talk

My imagination

Slips then I have you taking

Me to barcelona for the weekend

You described the night

Phil spector with his revolver

Served you ceremonial wine

We'd compare mythologies

And toast those friends that never believed

That our voices ever had much to offer

And then maybe we

Could go

For a walk

And I'd just listen while you talk

I wish that I

Could buy you a drink

And then more and then five

At the end of a night

I'd conveniently misplace my wallet

And you would wind up buying all of mine

We'd compare mythologies

And toast those friends that never believed

That our voices ever had much to offer

And then maybe we

Would go

For a walk

And I'd just listen while you talk

You'd point to the harbour

And the moonlight against the water

The boats against the dock

And through the dark our shadows then might get along

And I'd just listen while we talk

And through the dark our shadows then might get along

And I'd just listen while you talk
