《Take This Longing》歌词

[00:00:00] Take This Longing - Leonard Cohen

[00:00:06] Many men have loved the bells

[00:00:11] You fastened to the rein

[00:00:16] And everyone who wanted you

[00:00:20] They found what they will always want again

[00:00:27] Your beauty lost to you yourself

[00:00:31] Just as it was lost to them

[00:00:35] Oh take this longing from my tongue

[00:00:40] Whatever useless things these hands have done

[00:00:46] Let me see your beauty broken down

[00:00:52] Like you would do for one you love

[00:01:03] Your body like a searchlight

[00:01:08] My poverty revealed

[00:01:13] I would like to try your charity

[00:01:17] Until you cry "Now you must try my greed "

[00:01:25] And everything depends upon

[00:01:28] How near you sleep to me

[00:01:33] Just take this longing from my tongue

[00:01:38] All the lonely things my hands have done

[00:01:43] Let me see your beauty broken down

[00:01:49] Like you would do for one your love

[00:02:01] Hungry as an archway

[00:02:05] Through which the troops have passed

[00:02:10] I stand in ruins behind you

[00:02:13] With your winter clothes your broken sandal straps

[00:02:22] I love to see you naked over there

[00:02:27] Especially from the back

[00:02:30] Oh take this longing from my tongue

[00:02:35] All the useless things my hands have done

[00:02:40] Untie for me your hired blue gown

[00:02:46] Like you would do for one that you love

[00:02:57] You're faithful to the better man

[00:03:02] I'm afraid that he left

[00:03:07] So let me judge your love affair

[00:03:10] In this very room where I have sentenced

[00:03:15] Mine to death

[00:03:18] I'll even wear these old laurel leaves

[00:03:22] That he's shaken from his head

[00:03:27] Just take this longing from my tongue

[00:03:32] All the useless things my hands have done

[00:03:36] Let me see your beauty broken down

[00:03:42] Like you would do for one you love

[00:03:51] Like you would do for one you love
