Field Commander Cohen

Field Commander Cohen - Leonard Cohen (萊昂納德·科恩)

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 lifes 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 womans

Favourite 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 lifes 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 wrong

Yeah let them manifest and come

Till every taste is on the tongue

Till love is pierced and love is hung

And every kind of freedom done

Then oh

Oh my love

Oh my love

Oh my love

Oh my love

Oh my love

Oh my love
