《The Stranger Song》歌词

[00:00:00] The Stranger Song - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)

[00:00:00] Written by：Leonard Cohen

[00:00:00] It's true that all the men you knew

[00:00:04] Were dealers

[00:00:05] Who said they were through with dealing

[00:00:08] Every time you gave them shelter

[00:00:13] I know that kind of man

[00:00:15] It's hard to hold the hand of anyone

[00:00:18] 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 jokers

[00:00:34] That he left behind

[00:00:36] You find he did not leave you very much

[00:00:39] Not even laughter

[00:00:43] Like any dealer he was watching for the card

[00:00:47] That is so high and wild

[00:00:49] Hell never need to deal another

[00:00:54] He was just some Joseph looking

[00:00:57] For a manger

[00:01:00] He was just some Joseph looking for a manger

[00:01:07] And then leaning on your window sill

[00:01:10] Hell say one day you caused his will

[00:01:13] To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter

[00:01:19] And then taking from his wallet

[00:01:22] An old schedule of trains sayhell

[00:01:25] I told you when I came I was a stranger

[00:01:30] I told you when I came I was a stranger

[00:01:37] Ow but now another stranger seems

[00:01:41] To want you to ignore his dreams

[00:01:43] As though they were the burden of some other

[00:01:49] If seen that man before

[00:01:51] His golden arm dispatching cards

[00:01:54] But now it's rusted

[00:01:56] From the elbow to the finger

[00:02:01] And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter

[00:02:06] Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter

[00:02:13] I I hate to watch another tired man

[00:02:17] Lay down his hand

[00:02:18] Like he was giving up

[00:02:21] The holy game of poker

[00:02:25] And while he talks his dreams to sleep

[00:02:28] You notice theres a

[00:02:29] Highway

[00:02:30] That is curling up like smoke above his shoulder

[00:02:36] It's curling dislikes smoke above his shoulder

[00:02:43] Well you tell you to come in sit down

[00:02:46] But something makes you turn around

[00:02:49] The door is open

[00:02:51] You can't close you shelter

[00:02:55] You try the handle of the road

[00:02:57] It opens do not be afraid

[00:03:00] It's you my love you

[00:03:03] Who are the stranger

[00:03:06] It is you my love you

[00:03:08] Who are the stranger

[00:03:13] Well Ive been waiting I was sure

[00:03:16] Wed meet between the trains were waiting for

[00:03:20] I think it's time to board another

[00:03:25] Please understand I never had a secret chart

[00:03:29] To get me

[00:03:30] To the heart of this

[00:03:32] Or any other matter

[00:03:36] Well he talks like this

[00:03:37] You don't know what he's after

[00:03:42] When he speaks like this

[00:03:43] You don't know what he's after

[00:03:49] Lets meet tomorrow if you chose

[00:03:52] Upon the shore beneath the bridge

[00:03:55] That they are building on some endless river

[00:04:00] Then he leaves the platform

[00:04:02] For the sleeping car thats warm

[00:04:05] You realize he's only advertising one more shelter

[00:04:11] And it comes to you he never was a stranger

[00:04:17] And you say ok the bridge or someplace later

[00:04:24] And then sweeping up the jokers

[00:04:27] That he left behind

[00:04:28] You find he did not leave you very much

[00:04:32] Not even laughter

[00:04:35] Like any dealer he was watching for the card

[00:04:40] That is so high and wild

[00:04:42] Hell never need to deal another

[00:04:47] He was just some Joseph looking for a manger

[00:04:52] He was just some Joseph looking for a manger

[00:04:59] And leaning on your window sill

[00:05:02] Hell say one day you caused his will

[00:05:05] To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter

[00:05:11] And taking from his wallet

[00:05:14] An old schedule of trains

[00:05:16] Hell say I told you when I came I was a stranger

[00:05:23] I told you when I came I was a stranger

[00:05:28] I told you when I came I was a stranger
