Take This Waltz - Leonard Cohen
Now in Vienna

there's ten pretty women

There's a shoulder
where Death comes to cry

There's a lobby
with nine hundred windows

There's a tree

where the doves go to die

There's a piece
that was torn from the morning

And it hangs in the Gallery of Frost

Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay

Take this waltz,

take this waltz

Take this waltz
with the clamp on it's jaws

Oh I want you, I want you,
I want you

On a chair with a dead magazine

In the cave at the tip of the lily

In some hallways

where love's never been

On a bed where the moon
has been sweating

In a cry filled
with footsteps and sand

Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay

Take this waltz, take this waltz

Take it's broken waist in your hand

This waltz, this waltz,
this waltz, this waltz
With it's very own breath

of brandy and Death

Dragging it's tail in the sea

There's a concert hall in Vienna

Where your mouth
had a thousand reviews

There's a bar

where the boys have stopped talking

They've been sentenced to death

by the blues

Ah, but who is it climbs to your picture

With a garland of freshly cut tears?

Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay

Take this waltz,

take this waltz

Take this waltz
it's been dying for years

There's an attic
where children are playing

Where I've got to lie down
with you soon

In a dream of Hungarian lanterns

In the mist of some sweet afternoon

And I'll see
what you've chained to your sorrow

All your sheep
and your lilies of snow

Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay

Take this waltz, take this waltz

With it's "I'll never forget you,
you know!"

This waltz, this waltz,
this waltz, this waltz
With it's very own breath
of brandy and Death

Dragging it's tail in the sea

And I'll dance with you in Vienna

I'll be wearing a river's disguise

The hyacinth wild on my shoulder,

My mouth on the dew of your thighs

And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook,

With the photographs there,

and the moss

And I'll yield to the flood
of your beauty

My cheap violin and my cross

And you'll carry me down
on your dancing

To the pools

that you lift on your wrist

Oh my love, Oh my love

Take this waltz, take this waltz

It's yours now.
It's all that there is
