"A Song For Leonard Cohen" lyrics

"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
All week or just this one night
And then maybe we could go for a walk
And I'll just listen while you talk

My imagination slips
Then I have you taking
Me to 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 voices ever 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 misplace my wallet
And you'd wind up buying mine

We'd compare mythologies
And toast those friend that never believed
That our voices ever had much to offer
And then maybe we would go for a walk
And I'd just listen 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
Our shadows then might get along
And I'd just listen while you talk
