A Song for Leonard Cohen - Amanda Shires

I wish that I could buy you a drink

And then more and then five

I’d get you drunk and I’d get me outgoing

Or weaker just this one night

And then maybe we could go for a walk

And I’ll just listen while you talk

My imagination slips

And then I have you taken

Meet at Barcelona for the weekend

You describe the night

Phil Spector with his revolver

Served his ceremonial wine

We’d compare mythologies

And toast those friends that never believed

That our voice never had much to offer

And then maybe we could go for a walk

And I’d just listen while you talk

I wish that I could buy you a drink

And then more and then five

At the end of the night

I’d conveniently forget my wallet

And you’d end up buying mine

We’d compare mythologies

And toast those friend that never believed

That our voices never had much to offer

And then maybe we would go for a walk

And I’d just listen to while you talk

You’d point to the harbor

Moonlight against the water

The boats against the dock

And through the dark

Our shadows then would get along

And I’d just listen while you talk

And through the dark

Then might get along

And I’d just listen while you talk
