The Letters

[00:00.00]	作曲 : Leonard Cohen/Sharon Robinson
[00:00.00]	作词 : Leonard Cohen/Sharon Robinson
[00:14.260]	You never liked to get
[00:20.490]	The letters that I sent.
[00:26.720]	But now you’ve got the gist
[00:32.910]	Of what my letters meant.
[00:40.070]	You’re reading them again,
[00:47.100]	The ones you didn’t burn.
[00:54.190]	You press them to your lips,
[00:59.350]	My pages of concern.
[01:07.250]	I said there’d been a flood.
[01:14.160]	I said there’s nothing left.
[01:20.820]	I hoped that you would come.
[01:27.270]I gave you my address.[00:00.00]
[00:01.00]
[01:33.260]	Your story was so long,
[01:40.590]	The plot was so intense,
[01:48.770]	It took you years to cross
[01:53.490]	The lines of self-defense.
[02:01.770]	The wounded forms appear:
[02:07.040]	The loss, the full extent;
[02:14.550]	And simple kindness here,
[02:20.490]	The solitude of strength.
[02:28.490]	I said there’d been a flood.
[02:35.490]	I said there’s nothing left.
[02:42.420]	I hoped that you would come.
[02:49.270]	I gave you my address.
[02:58.550]	You walk into my room.
[03:04.780]	You stand there at my desk,
[03:11.140]	Begin your letter to
[03:17.690]	The one who’s coming next
[03:25.490]	Begin your letter to
[03:37.690]	The one who’s coming next
[03:50.690]
