[00:00.00]	作曲 : Leonard Cohen
[00:04.72]	It's true that all the men you knew were dealers
[00:08.62]	Who said they were through with dealing
[00:11.09]	Every time you gave them shelter
[00:15.34]	I know that kind of man
[00:17.59]	It's hard to hold the hand of anyone
[00:20.18]	Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender.
[00:25.56]	Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender.
[00:31.87]	And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind
[00:35.70]	You find he did not leave you very much
[00:38.90]	Not even laughter
[00:42.26]	Like any dealer he was watching for the card
[00:46.34]	That is so high and wild
[00:48.13]	He'll never need to deal another
[00:52.56]	He was just some joseph looking for a manger
[00:57.57]	He was just some joseph looking for a manger.
[01:03.75]	And then leaning on your window sill
[01:06.52]	He'll say one day you caused his will
[01:09.14]	To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter
[01:14.13]	And then taking from his wallet
[01:16.67]	An old schedule of trains, he'll say
[01:19.27]	I told you when I came I was a stranger
[01:24.61]	I told you when I came I was a stranger
[01:30.96]	But now another stranger seems to want you to ignore his dreams
[01:36.14]	As though they were the burden of some other
[01:41.09]	O you've seen that man before
[01:43.36]	His golden arm dispatching cards
[01:45.82]	But now it's rusted from the elbow to the finger
[01:51.51]	And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter
[01:56.55]	Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter.
[02:02.65]	Now you hate to watch another tired man
[02:06.10]	Lay down his hand
[02:07.55]	Like he was giving up the holy game of poker
[02:13.27]	And while he talks his dreams to sleep
[02:15.71]	You notice theres a highway
[02:18.19]	That is curling up like smoke above his shoulder
[02:23.25]	It's curling just like smoke above his shoulder.
[02:29.71]	You tell him to come in sit down
[02:32.28]	But something makes you turn around
[02:34.75]	The door is open you can't close your shelter
[02:39.91]	You try the handle of the road
[02:42.40]	It opens do not be afraid
[02:44.80]	It's you my love, you who are the stranger
[02:49.93]	And it is you my love, you who are the stranger.
[02:56.20]	Well, I've been waiting, I was sure
[02:58.74]	We'd meet between the trains were waiting for
[03:01.85]	I think it's time to board another
[03:06.62]	Please understand, I never had a secret chart
[03:10.45]	To get me to the heart of this
[03:12.81]	Or any other matter
[03:16.99]	Well he talks like this
[03:18.29]	You don't know what he's after
[03:21.75]	When he speaks like this,
[03:23.17]	You don't know what he's after.
[03:28.26]	Let's meet tomorrow if you chose
[03:30.83]	Upon the shore, beneath the bridge
[03:33.49]	That they are building on some endless river
[03:38.66]	Then he leaves the platform
[03:40.33]	For the sleeping car that's warm
[03:42.73]	You realize, he's only advertising one more shelter
[03:49.02]	And it comes to you, he never was a stranger
[03:54.28]	And you say ok the bridge or someplace later.
[04:00.52]	And then sweeping up the jokers
[04:02.69]	That he left behind
[04:04.44]	You find he did not leave you very much
[04:07.71]	Not even laughter
[04:11.00]	Like any dealer he was watching for the card
[04:15.02]	That is so high and wild
[04:16.98]	He'll never need to deal another
[04:21.24]	He was just some joseph looking for a manger
[04:26.26]	He was just some joseph looking for a manger.
[04:32.60]	And leaning on your window sill
[04:35.31]	He'll say one day you caused his will
[04:38.10]	To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter
[04:43.23]	And then taking from his wallet
[04:45.49]	An old schedule of trains
[04:47.82]	He'll say I told you when I came I was a stranger
[04:53.44]	I told you when I came I was a stranger.
[04:58.50]	I told you when I came I was a stranger.
