Leonard Cohen - A Bunch of Lonesome Heroes
|
A bunch of lonesome and very quarrelsome heroes
|
|
Were smoking out
|
|
along the open road
|
|
The night was very dark and thick between them
|
|
Each man beneath
|
|
his ordinary load
|
|
"I'd like to tell my story,"
|
|
Said one of them so young and bold
|
|
"I'd like to tell my story
|
|
Before I turn into gold."
|
|
But no one really could hear him
|
|
The night so dark
|
|
and thick and green
|
|
Well I guess that these heroes
|
|
must always live there
|
|
Where you and I have only been
|
|
Put out your cigarette, my love
|
|
You've been alone too long
|
|
And some of us are very hungry now
|
|
To hear what it is you've done
|
|
that was so wrong
|
|
I sing this for the crickets
|
|
I sing this for the army
|
|
I sing this for your children
|
|
And for all who do not need me
|
|
"I'd like to tell my story,"
|
|
Said one of them so bold
|
|
"Oh yes, I'd like to tell my story
|
|
'cause you know I feel
|
|
I'm turning into gold."
