Leonard Cohen - The Letters Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • You never liked to get
  • The letters that I sent.
  • But now you’ve got the gist
  • Of what my letters meant.
  • You’re reading them again,
  • The ones you didn’t burn.
  • You press them to your lips,
  • My pages of concern.
  • I said there’d been a flood.
  • I said there’s nothing left.
  • I hoped that you would come.
  • I gave you my address.
  • Your story was so long,
  • The plot was so intense,
  • It took you years to cross
  • The lines of self-defense.
  • The wounded forms appear:
  • The loss, the full extent;
  • And simple kindness here,
  • The solitude of strength.
  • You walk into my room.
  • You stand there at my desk,
  • Begin your letter to
  • The one who’s coming next.
