Leonard Cohen - A Bunch Of Lonesome Heroes Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • A bunch of lonesome and very quarrelsome heroes
  • were smoking out along the open road;
  • the night was very dark and thick between them,
  • each man beneath his ordinary load.
  • "I'd like to tell my story,"
  • said one of them so young and bold,
  • "I'd like to tell my story,
  • before I turn into gold."
  • But no one really could hear him,
  • the night so dark and thick and green;
  • well I guess that these heroes must always live there
  • where you and I have only been.
  • Put out your cigarette, my love,
  • you've been alone too long;
  • and some of us are very hungry now
  • to hear what it is you've done that was so wrong.
  • I sing this for the crickets,
  • I sing this for the army,
  • I sing this for your children
  • and for all who do not need me.
  • "I'd like to tell my story,"
  • said one of them so bold,
  • "Oh yes, I'd like to tell my story
  • 'cause you know I feel I'm turning into gold."
