Leonard Cohen "Going home" lyrics

Translation to:frhu

Going home

I love to speak with LeonardHe's a sportsman and a shepherdHe's a lazy bastardLiving in a suit

But he does say what I tell himEven though it isn't welcomeHe will never have the freedomTo refuse

He will speak these words of wisdomLike a sage, a man of visionThough he knows he's really nothingBut the brief elaboration of a tube

Going homeWithout my sorrowGoing homeSometime tomorrowTo where it's betterThan before

Going homeWithout my burdenGoing homeBehind the curtainGoing homeWithout the costumeThat I wore

He wants to write a love songAn anthem of forgivingA manual for living with defeatA cry above the sufferingA sacrifice recoveringBut that isn't what I want him to complete

I want to make him certainThat he doesn't have a burdenThat he doesn't need a vision

That he only has permissionTo do my instant biddingThat is to SAY what I have told himTo repeat

Going homeWithout my sorrowGoing homeSometime tomorrowGoing homeTo where it's betterThan before

Going homeWithout my burdenGoing homeBehind the curtainGoing homeWithout the costumeThat I wore

I love to speak with LeonardHe's a sportsman and a shepherdHe's a lazy bastardLiving in a suit
