The Stranger Song - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)
Its true that all the men you
Knew were dealers
Who said they were through with dealing
Every time you gave them shelter

I know that kind of man
Its hard to hold the hand of anyone
Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender

Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender

And then sweeping up the
Jokers that he left behind
You find he did not leave you very much
Not even laughter

Like any dealer he was watching for the card
That is so high and wild
Hell never need to deal another

He was just some joseph looking for a manger

He was just some joseph looking for a manger

And then leaning on your window sill
Hell say one day you caused his will
To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter

And then taking from his wallet

An old schedule of trains hell say
I told you when I came I was a stranger

I told you when I came I was a stranger

But now another stranger seems
To want you to ignore his dreams
As though they were the burden of some other

O youve seen that man before
His golden arm dispatching cards
But now its rusted from
The elbow to the finger

And he wants to trade
The game he plays for shelter

Yes he wants to trade
The game he knows for shelter

You hate to watch another tired man
Lay down his hand
Like he was giving up the
Holy game of poker

And while he talks his dreams to sleep
You notice theres a highway
That is curling up like
Smoke above his shoulder

Its curling up like smoke above his shoulder

You tell him to come in sit down
But something makes you turn around
The door is open you can't close you shelter

You try the handle of the road
It opens do not be afraid
Its you my love you who are the stranger

It 's you my love you who are the stranger

Well I've been waiting I was sure
Wed meet between the trains were waiting for
I think its time to board another

Please understand I never had a secret chart
To get me to the heart of this
Or any other matter

Well he talks like this
You don't know what hes after

When he speaks like this
You don't know what hes after

Lets meet tomorrow if you chose
Upon the shore beneath the bridge
That they are building on some endless river

Then he leaves the platform
For the sleeping car thats warm
You realize hes only advertising one more shelter

And it comes to you he never was a stranger

And you say ok the bridge or someplace later

And then sweeping up the jokers
That he left behind
You find he did not leave you very much
Not even laughter

Like any dealer he was watching for the card
That is so high and wild
Hell never need to deal another

He was just some joseph looking for a manger

He was just some joseph looking for a manger

And leaning on your window sill
Hell say one day you caused his will
To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter

And then taking from his wallet

An old schedule of trains
Hell say I told you when
I came I was a stranger

I told you when I came
I was a stranger

I told you when I came
I was a stranger
