Lady Midnight — текст песни (cohen leonard)

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.
