Lyrics A Song for Leonard Cohen - Amanda Shires

A Song for Leonard Cohen

I wish that I could buy you a drink
And then more and then five
I’d get you drunk and I’d get me outgoing
Or weaker just this one night
And then maybe we could go for a walk
And I’ll just listen while you talk
My imagination slips
And then I have you taken
Meet at Barcelona for the weekend
You describe the night
Phil Spector with his revolver
Served his ceremonial wine
We’d compare mythologies
And toast those friends that never believed
That our voice never had much to offer
And then maybe we could go for a walk
And I’d just listen while you talk
I wish that I could buy you a drink
And then more and then five
At the end of the night
I’d conveniently forget my wallet
And you’d end up buying mine
We’d compare mythologies
And toast those friend that never believed
That our voices never had much to offer
And then maybe we would go for a walk
And I’d just listen to while you talk
You’d point to the harbor
Moonlight against the water
The boats against the dock
And through the dark
Our shadows then would get along
And I’d just listen while you talk
And through the dark
Then might get along
And I’d just listen while you talk
