Leonard Cohen - Leaving Green Sleeves Lyrics

Font:

Align:

Alas, my love, you did me wrong,

To cast me out discourteously,

For I have loved you so long,

Delighting in your very company.

Now if you intend to show me disdain,

Dont you know it all the more enraptures me,

For even so I still remain your lover in captivity.

Green sleeves, youre all alone,

The leaves have fallen, the men have gone.

Green sleeves, theres no one home,

Not even the lady green sleeves

I sang my songs, I told my lies,

To lie between your matchless thighs.

And aint it fine, aint it wild

To finally end our exercise

Then I saw you ***** in the early dawn,

Oh, I hoped you would be someone new.

I reached for you but you were gone,

So lady Im going too.

Green sleeves, youre all alone ...

Green sleeves, youre all alone,

The leaves have fallen, the men have all gone home.

Green sleeves, its so easily done,

Leaving the lady green sleeves.
