《Death Of A Ladies’ Man》歌词

[00:00:00] Death Of A Ladies' Man - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)

[00:00:39] Ah the man she wanted all her life was hanging by a thread

[00:00:46] "I never even knew how much I wanted you " she said

[00:00:54] His muscles they were numbered and his style was obsolete

[00:01:03] "O baby I have come too late " She knelt beside his feet

[00:01:16] "I'll never see a face like yours in years of men to come

[00:01:24] I'll never see such arms again in wrestling or in love "

[00:01:32] And all his virtues burning in the smoky Holocaust

[00:01:40] She took unto herself most everything her lover lost

[00:02:16] Now the master of this landscape he was standing at the view

[00:02:22] With a sparrow of St Francis that he was preaching to

[00:02:26] She beckoned to the sentry of his high religious mood

[00:02:29] She said "I'll make a place between my legs

[00:02:32] I'll show you solitude "

[00:02:47] He offered her an orgy in a many mirrored room

[00:02:55] He promised her protection for the issue of her womb

[00:03:03] She moved her body hard against a sharpened metal spoon

[00:03:11] She stopped the bloody rituals of passage to the moon

[00:04:04] She took his much admired oriental frame of mind

[00:04:12] And the heart-of-darkness alibi his money hides behind

[00:04:20] She took his blonde madonna and his monastery wine --

[00:04:28] "This mental space is occupied and everything is mine "

[00:04:44] He tried to make a final stand beside the railway track

[00:04:52] She said "The art of longing's over and it's never coming back "

[00:05:00] She took his tavern parliament his cap his cocky dance

[00:05:08] She mocked his female fashions and his working-class moustache

[00:05:41] The last time that I saw him he was trying hard to get

[00:05:44] A woman's education but he's not a woman yet

[00:05:46] And the last time that I saw her she was living with some boy

[00:05:52] Who gives her soul an empty room and gives her body joy

[00:06:12] So the great affair is over but whoever would have guessed

[00:06:21] It would leave us all so vacant and so deeply unimpressed

[00:06:32] It's like our visit to the moon or to that other star

[00:06:42] I guess you go for nothing if you really want to go that far

[00:06:54] It's like our visit to the moon or to that other star

[00:07:36] I guess you go for nothing if you really want to go that far

[00:08:33] It's like our visit to the moon or to that other star

[00:08:36] I guess you go for nothing if you really want to go that far
