"Moving On" lyrics
"Moving On"
I loved your face I loved your hair
Your t-shirts and your evening-wear
As for the world the job the war
I ditched them all to love you more
And now you're gone, now you're gone
As if there ever was a you
Who broke the heart and made it new?
Who's moving on, who's kiddin' who?
I loved your moods I love the way
They threaten every single day
Your beauty ruled me though I knew
Twas more hormonal than the view
Now you're gone, now you're gone
As if there ever was a you
Queen of lilac, queen of blue
Who's moving on, who's kiddin' who?
I loved your face I loved your hair
Your t-shirts and your evening-wear
As for the world the job the war
I ditched them all to love you more
And now you're gone, now you're gone
As if there ever was a you
Who held me dyin' pulled me through
Who's moving on, who's kiddin' who?
Who's moving on, who's kiddin' who?
Writer(s): Patrick Leonard, Leonard Cohen, Adam Cohen
"Moving On" is thought to be inspired by Leonard Cohen's love Marianne Ihlen. Adam Cohen, who assembled the album "Thanks For The Dance", explained about the song to The New York Times, "He was not trying to be a nostalgia act, like so many of his contemporaries. He wasn't going backwards. He would say to me, 'I am taking the inner life very seriously.'"

There's a sailor who sings
Of the dreams that he brings

Aldous Harding - "Imagining My Man" I'm going to answer, protecting
It can be so hard to forgive
It's not what I thought, and it's not what I pictured
When I was imagining my man

And you think you'll never recover
Riding a constant spiral down
You think you can't dodge this one
But you'll be fine I know
You'll be climbing higher
