《The Stranger Song》歌词

[00:00:00] The stranger song - Leonard cohen

[00:00:04] Its true that all the men you

[00:00:06] Knew were dealers

[00:00:08] Who said they were through with dealing

[00:00:10] Every time you gave them shelter

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

[00:00:17] Its hard to hold the hand of anyone

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

[00:00:24] Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender

[00:00:31] And then sweeping up the

[00:00:33] Jokers that he left behind

[00:00:35] You find he did not leave you very much

[00:00:38] Not even laughter

[00:00:42] Like any dealer he was watching for the card

[00:00:45] That is so high and wild

[00:00:47] Hell never need to deal another

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

[00:00:57] He was just some joseph looking for a manger

[00:01:03] And then leaning on your window sill

[00:01:06] Hell say one day you caused his will

[00:01:09] To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter

[00:01:13] And then taking from his wallet

[00:01:16] An old schedule of trains hell say

[00:01:19] I told you when I came I was a stranger

[00:01:24] I told you when I came I was a stranger

[00:01:30] But now another stranger seems

[00:01:33] To want you to ignore his dreams

[00:01:35] As though they were the burden of some other

[00:01:40] O youve seen that man before

[00:01:42] His golden arm dispatching cards

[00:01:45] But now its rusted from

[00:01:47] The elbow to the finger

[00:01:51] And he wants to trade

[00:01:52] The game he plays for shelter

[00:01:56] Yes he wants to trade

[00:01:57] The game he knows for shelter

[00:02:02] You hate to watch another tired man

[00:02:06] Lay down his hand

[00:02:07] Like he was giving up the

[00:02:09] Holy game of poker

[00:02:12] And while he talks his dreams to sleep

[00:02:15] You notice theres a highway

[00:02:17] That is curling up like

[00:02:19] Smoke above his shoulder

[00:02:23] Its curling up like smoke above his shoulder

[00:02:29] You tell him to come in sit down

[00:02:32] But something makes you turn around

[00:02:34] The door is open you cant close you shelter

[00:02:39] You try the handle of the road

[00:02:42] It opens do not be afraid

[00:02:44] Its you my love you who are the stranger

[00:02:49] It 's you my love you who are the stranger

[00:02:55] Well Ive been waiting I was sure

[00:02:58] Wed meet between the trains were waiting for

[00:03:01] I think its time to board another

[00:03:06] Please understand I never had a secret chart

[00:03:10] To get me to the heart of this

[00:03:12] Or any other matter

[00:03:16] Well he talks like this

[00:03:18] You dont know what hes after

[00:03:21] When he speaks like this

[00:03:22] You dont know what hes after

[00:03:27] Lets meet tomorrow if you chose

[00:03:30] Upon the shore beneath the bridge

[00:03:33] That they are building on some endless river

[00:03:38] Then he leaves the platform

[00:03:39] For the sleeping car thats warm

[00:03:42] You realize hes only advertising one more shelter

[00:03:48] And it comes to you he never was a stranger

[00:03:53] And you say ok the bridge or someplace later

[00:04:00] And then sweeping up the jokers

[00:04:02] That he left behind

[00:04:04] You find he did not leave you very much

[00:04:07] Not even laughter

[00:04:10] Like any dealer he was watching for the card

[00:04:14] That is so high and wild

[00:04:16] Hell never need to deal another

[00:04:20] He was just some joseph looking for a manger

[00:04:25] He was just some joseph looking for a manger

[00:04:32] And leaning on your window sill

[00:04:35] Hell say one day you caused his will

[00:04:37] To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter

[00:04:42] And then taking from his wallet

[00:04:45] An old schedule of trains

[00:04:47] Hell say I told you when

[00:04:49] I came I was a stranger

[00:04:52] I told you when I came

[00:04:54] I was a stranger

[00:04:57] I told you when I came

[00:04:59] I was a stranger
