leaving green sleeves
 

* leonard cohen'in new skin for the old ceremony albümünde yer alan greensleeves uyarlaması şarkı:



"alas my love you did me wrong

to cast me out discourteously

for i have loved you so long

delighting in your very company.



now if you intent to show me disdain

don't you know it all the more enraptures me

for even so i still remain

your lover in captivity.



green sleeves you're all alone

the leaves have fallen, the men have gone.

green sleeves there's no-one home

not even the lady green sleeves.



i sang my song, i told my lies

to lie between your matchless thighs

and ain't it fine, ain't it wise

to finally end our exercise.



then i saw you naked in the early dawn

oh, i hoped you would be someone new

i reached for you, but you were gone

so, lady, i'm going too.



green sleeves you're all alone

the leaves have fallen, the men have all gone home.

green sleeves so easily gone

not even the lady green sleeves."
