The page contains the lyrics of the song "I Left A Woman Waiting" by Leonard Cohen.
Lyrics
I left a woman waiting
I met her sometime later
She said, I see your eyes are dead
What happened to you, lover?
What happened to you, my lover?
What happened to you, lover?
What happened to you?
And since she spoke the truth to me
I tried to answer truthfully
Whatever happened to my eyes
Happened to your beauty
Happened to your beauty
What happened to your beauty
Happened to me We took ourselves to someone’s bed
And there we fell together
Quick as dogs and truly dead were we And free as running water
Free as running water
Free as running water
Free as you and me The way it’s got to be The way it’s got to be, lover
