Lady Midnight (Album Version)

Lady Midnight - Leonard Cohen
I came by myself to a very
crowded place;
I was looking for someone
who had lines in her face.
I found her there but
she was past all concern;
I asked her to hold me,
I said, "Lady, unfold me,"
but she scorned me
and she told me
I was dead
and I could never return.
Well, I argued all night like
so many have before,
saying, "Whatever you give me,
I seem to need so much more."
Then she pointed at me
where I kneeled on her floor,
she said, "Don't try to use me
or slyly refuse me,
just win me or lose me,
it is this that the darkness is for."
I cried, "Oh, Lady Midnight,
I fear that you grow old,
the stars eat your body
and the wind makes you cold."
"If we cry now," she said,
"it will just be ignored."
So I walked through the morning,
sweet early morning,
I could hear my lady calling,
"You've won me,
you've won me, my lord,
you've won me,
you've won me, my lord,
yes, you've won me,
you've won me, my lord,
ah, you've won me,
you've won me, my lord,
ah, you've won me,
you've won me, my lord."
