Death of a Ladies' Man - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)
Ah the man she wanted all her life
Was hanging by a thread

"I never even knew how much
I wanted you " she said

His muscles they were numbered
And his style was obsolete

"O baby I have come too late "
She knelt beside his feet

"I'll never see a face like yours
In years of men to come

I'll never see such arms again
In wrestling or in love "

And all his virtues burning

In the smoky Holocaust

She took unto herself most
Everything her lover lost

Now the master of this landscape

He was standing at the view

With a sparrow of St Francis

That he was preaching to

She beckoned to the sentry

Of his high religious mood

She said "I'll make a place between my legs
I'll show you solitude "

He offered her an orgy in
A many mirrored room

He promised her protection

For the issue of her womb

She moved her body hard
Against a sharpened metal spoon

She stopped the bloody rituals

Of passage to the moon

She took his much admired

Oriental frame of mind

And the heart-of-darkness alibi

His money hides behind

She took his blonde madonna

And his monastery wine

"This mental space is occupied
And everything is mine "

He tried to make a final stand

Beside the railway track

She said "The art of longing's over

And it's never coming back "

She took his tavern parliament
His cap his cocky dance

She mocked his female fashions

And his working-class moustache

The last time that I saw him

He was trying hard to get

A woman's education

But he's not a woman yet

And the last time that I saw her

She was living with some boy

Who gives her soul an empty room

And gives her body joy

So the great affair is over

But whoever would have guessed

It would leave us all so vacant

And so deeply unimpressed

It's like our visit to the moon
Or to that other star

I guess you go for nothing

If you really want to go that far

It's like our visit to the moon
Or to that other star

I guess you go for nothing

If you really want to go that far

It's like our visit to the moon
Or to that other star

I guess you go for nothing

If you really want to go that far
