| [00:00.782] | 作词 : Leonard Cohen |
| [00:02.346] | It's true that all the men you knew were dealers |
| [00:07.91] | who said they were through with dealing |
| [00:10.81] | Every time you gave them shelter |
| [00:15.153] | I know that kind of man |
| [00:16.786] | It's hard to hold the hand of anyone |
| [00:18.746] | who is reaching for the sky just to surrender. |
| [00:25.85] | who is reaching for the sky just to surrender. |
| [00:26.145] | And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind |
| [00:34.960] | you find he did not leave you very much |
| [00:38.584] | not even laughter |
| [00:41.786] | Like any dealer he was watching for the card |
| [00:45.421] | that is so high and wild |
| [00:47.288] | he'll never need to deal another |
| [00:51.851] | He was just some Joseph looking for a manger |
| [00:54.773] | He was just some Joseph looking for a manger. |
| [01:03.34] | And then leaning on your window sill |
| [01:06.30] | he'll say one day you caused his will |
| [01:08.753] | to weaken with your love and warmth and shelter |
| [01:13.482] | And then taking from his wallet |
| [01:15.446] | an old schedule of trains,he'll say |
| [01:19.280] | I told you when I came I was a stranger. |
| [01:21.325] | But now another stranger seems to want you to ignore his dreams |
| [01:29.56] | as though they were the burden of some other |
| [01:35.115] | O you've seen that man before |
| [01:36.970] | his golden arm dispatching cards |
| [01:39.470] | but now it's rusted from the elbow to the finger |
| [01:45.540] | And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter |
| [01:50.310] | Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter. |
| [01:56.395] | You hate to watch another tired man |
| [01:59.604] | lay down his hand |
| [02:00.914] | like he was giving up the holy game of poker |
| [02:07.229] | And while he talks his dreams to sleep |
| [02:09.269] | you notice there's a highway |
| [02:11.450] | that is curling up like smoke above his shoulder |
| [02:14.545] | It's curling up like smoke above his shoulder. |
| [02:23.395] | You tell him to come in sit down |
| [02:26.902] | but something makes you turn around |
| [02:28.964] | The door is open you can't close you shelter |
| [02:31.688] | You try the handle of the road |
| [02:35.303] | It opens do not be afraid |
| [02:38.37] | It's you my love,you who are the stranger |
| [02:40.834] | It is you my love,you who are the stranger. |
| [02:49.518] | Well,I've been waiting,I was sure |
| [02:51.156] | we'd meet between the trains we're waiting for |
| [02:54.683] | I think it's time to board another |
| [02:59.893] | Please understand,I never had a secret chart |
| [03:02.963] | to get me to the heart of this |
| [03:06.662] | or any other matter |
| [03:07.902] | Well he talks like this |
| [03:17.853] | you don't know what he's after |
| [03:18.43] | When he speaks like this, |
| [03:19.628] | you don't know what he's after. |
| [03:21.254] | Let's meet tomorrow if you chose |
| [03:22.442] | upon the shore,beneath the bridge |
| [03:24.523] | that they are building on some endless river |
| [03:32.548] | Then he leaves the platform |
| [03:33.827] | for the sleeping car that's warm |
| [03:36.697] | You realize,he's only advertising one more shelter |
| [03:39.867] | And it comes to you,he never was a stranger |
| [03:47.285] | And you say ok the bridge or someplace later. |
| [03:50.409] | And then sweeping up the jokers |
| [03:55.367] | that he left behind |
| [03:58.548] | you find he did not leave you very much |
| [04:00.658] | not even laughter |
| [04:01.582] | Like any dealer he was watching for the card |
| [04:07.472] | that is so high and wild |
| [04:11.432] | he'll never need to deal another |
| [04:14.32] | He was just some Joseph looking for a manger |
| [04:16.397] | He was just some Joseph looking for a manger. |
| [04:25.401] | And leaning on your window sill |

| [04:33.285] | And then taking from his wallet |
| [04:38.91] | an old schedule of trains |
| [04:40.328] | he'll say I told you when I came I was a stranger |
| [04:43.881] | I told you when I came I was a stranger. |
