《The Stranger Song》歌词

[00:00:00] The Stranger Song - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)

[00:00:03] It's true that all the men you knew were dealers

[00:00:06] Who said they were through with dealing

[00:00:09] Every time you gave them shelter

[00:00:14] I know that kind of man

[00:00:16] It's hard to hold the hand of anyone

[00:00:19] Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender

[00:00:23] Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender

[00:00:29] And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind

[00:00:32] You find he did not leave you very much

[00:00:36] Not even laughter

[00:00:39] Like any dealer he was watching for the card

[00:00:43] That is so high and wild

[00:00:45] Hell never need to deal another

[00:00:48] He was just some joseph looking for a manger

[00:00:52] He was just some joseph looking for a manger

[00:00:58] And then leaning on your window sill

[00:01:01] Hell say one day you caused his will

[00:01:04] To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter

[00:01:08] And then taking from his wallet

[00:01:10] An old schedule of trains hell say

[00:01:13] I told you when I came I was a stranger

[00:01:17] I told you when I came I was a stranger

[00:01:23] But now another stranger seems

[00:01:26] To want you to ignore his dreams

[00:01:28] As though they were the burden of some other

[00:01:32] O you've seen that man before

[00:01:34] His golden arm dispatching cards

[00:01:36] But now it's rusted from the elbow to the finger

[00:01:41] And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter

[00:01:46] Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter

[00:01:51] You hate to watch another tired man

[00:01:55] Lay down his hand

[00:01:56] Like he was giving up the holy game of poker

[00:02:01] And while he talks his dreams to sleep

[00:02:04] You notice theres a highway

[00:02:05] That is curling up like smoke above his shoulder

[00:02:10] Certainly you are looked a little older

[00:02:15] Certainly you are felt a little older

[00:02:20] You tell him to come in sit down

[00:02:23] But something makes you turn around

[00:02:25] The door is open you can't close you shelter

[00:02:30] You try the handle of the road

[00:02:32] It opens do not be afraid

[00:02:34] It's you my love you who are the stranger

[00:02:39] It is you my love you who are the stranger

[00:02:45] Well I've been waiting I was sure

[00:02:47] Wed meet between the trains were waiting for

[00:02:50] I think it's time to board another

[00:02:52] Please understand I never had a secret chart

[00:02:58] To get me to the heart of this

[00:03:01] Or any other matter

[00:03:03] Well he talks like this

[00:03:05] You don't know what he's after

[00:03:08] When he speaks like this

[00:03:09] You don't know what he's after

[00:03:14] Let's meet tomorrow if you chose

[00:03:16] Upon the shore beneath the bridge

[00:03:18] That they are building on some endless river

[00:03:23] Then he leaves the platform

[00:03:25] For the sleeping car that's warm

[00:03:27] You realize he's only advertising one more shelter

[00:03:32] And it comes to you he never was a stranger

[00:03:37] And you say ok the bridge or someplace later

[00:03:40] And then sweeping up the jokers

[00:03:45] That he left behind

[00:03:46] You find he did not leave you very much

[00:03:49] Not even laughter

[00:03:53] Like any dealer he was watching for the card

[00:03:56] That is so high and wild

[00:03:58] Hell never need to deal another

[00:04:00] He was just some joseph looking for a manger

[00:04:06] He was just some joseph looking for a manger

[00:04:09] And leaning on your window sill

[00:04:10] Hell say one day you caused his will

[00:04:12] To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter

[00:04:17] And then taking from his wallet

[00:04:19] An old schedule of trains

[00:04:21] Hell say I told you when I came I was a stranger

[00:04:26] I told you when I came I was a stranger

[00:04:31] I told you when I came I was a stranger
