The Letters Lyrics

[00:00.00]	作曲 : Leonard Cohen/Sharon Robinson
[00:01.00]	作词 : Leonard Cohen/Sharon Robinson
[00:14.070]	You never liked to get
[00:21.060]	The letters that I sent.
[00:27.740]	But now you’ve got the gist
[00:33.260]	Of what my letters meant.
[00:41.030]	You’re reading them again,
[00:47.500]	The ones you didn’t burn.
[00:54.170]	You press them to your lips,
[00:59.940]	My pages of concern.
[01:08.300]	I said there’d been a flood.
[01:15.030]	I said there’s nothing left.
[01:21.830]	I hoped that you would come.
[01:28.470]	I gave you my address.
[01:34.670]	Your story was so long,
[01:40.930]	The plot was so intense,
[01:48.260]	It took you years to cross
[01:53.520]	The lines of self-defense.
[02:01.830]	The wounded forms appear:
[02:07.620]	The loss, the full extent;
[02:15.520]	And simple kindness here,
[02:20.480]	The solitude of strength.
[02:30.940]	repeat
[03:00.300]	You walk into my room.
[03:05.160]	You stand there at my desk,
[03:11.230]	Begin your letter to
[03:16.580]	The one who’s coming next
