I Tried to Leave You (Live) [06/25/76 Montreux Jazz Festival, Casino de Montreux, Montreux, Switzerland] Songtext
von Leonard Cohen

I tried to leave you
I don′t deny
I closed the book on us
At least a hundred time
I'd wake up every morning by your side


The years go by
You lose your pride
The baby′s crying
So you do not go outside
And all your work
It's right before your eyes

Goodnight, my darling
I hope you're satisfied
The bed is kind of narrow
But my arms are open wide
And here′s a man still working for your smile
