Resonant Lyrics

Great Man in Waiting.

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Watch the light leave your eyes
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Thought the sun had left the sky.

And could you see the way before the world had come to know your deeds?
And could you see the way you leave the millions crawling on their knees?
Could you see the way?

So long, so long, so long
So long before you’ll come again
So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye to all that’s good and sane

And could you see the way before the day when you would stand so tall?
And could you see the way before the words had dried upon the wall?
Could you see the way?
Could you see the way?

And could you see the way before the crowd had even learned your name?
And could you see the way you leave the millions drowning just the same?
Could you see the way?
Could you see the way?
Could you see the way?

Artist: Van Morison
Song: Someone Like You

I’ve been all around the world
Marching to the beat of a different drum
But just lately I have realised
The best is yet to come

in the heart of the night
she smiles like mardi-gras
spinning in a dizzy haze

her circus head giggles
it’s a friendly disease
catching colours from the air

so with your hands upon the hips
of the dancing flesh
she’s a carnival
and when it’s lip to lip
in a surprise time kiss
she’s a carnival

mosaic eye, gypsy eye
glowing as it dazzles
she’s a portrait of a poison
for you to quench your thirst
a portrait of a poison…

Leonard Cohen was born in 1934 in Montreal, Canada.

This tune’s formal and simplistic air coupled with it’s remarkable lyrics is a perfect example of the man’s genius..

TAKE THIS WALTZ

Now in Vienna there’s ten pretty women
There’s a shoulder where Death comes to cry
There’s a lobby with nine hundred windows
There’s a tree where the doves go to die
There’s a piece that was torn from the morning
And it hangs in the Gallery of Frost
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
Take this waltz
Take this waltz
Take this waltz with the clamp on its jaws

Oh I want you, I want you, I want you
On a chair with a dead magazine
In the cave at the tip of the lily
In some hallway where love’s never been
On our bed where the moon has been sweating
In a cry filled with footsteps and sand
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
Take this waltz
Take this waltz
Take its broken waist in your hand

This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
With its very own breath of brandy and Death
Dragging its tail in the sea

There’s a concert hall in Vienna
Where your mouth had a thousand reviews
There’s a bar where the boys have stopped talking
They’ve been sentenced to death by the blues
Ah but who is it climbs to your picture
With a garland of freshly cut tears?
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
Take this waltz
Take this waltz
Take this waltz it’s been dying for years

There’s an attic where children are playing
Where I’ve got to lie down with you soon
In a dream of Hungarian lanterns
In the mist of some sweet afternoon
And I’ll see what you’ve chained to your sorrow
All your sheep and your lilies of snow
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
Take this waltz
Take this waltz
With it’s “I’ll never forget you, you know!”

This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz …
With it’s very own breath of brandy and Death
Dragging it’s tail in the sea

And I’ll dance with you in Vienna
I’ll be wearing a river’s disguise
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder
My mouth on the dew of your thighs
And I’ll bury my soul in a scrapbook
With the photographs there and the moths
And I’ll yield to the flood of your beauty
My cheap violin and my cross
And you’ll carry me down on your dancing
To the pools that you lift on your wrist
Oh my love
Oh my love
Take this waltz
Take this waltz
It’s yours now..
It’s all that there is..

LEONARD COHEN

lost in space . the lighthouse family

sometimes i get tired of this me first attitude
you are the on thin that keeps me smilin
thats why i’m always wishin hard for you
cos you light shines so bright
i dont feel no solitude
you are my first star at night
i’d be lost in space without you

and i’ll never lose my faith in you
and i;ll never get to heaven if i do

feels just so fine
when we touch the sky me n u
this is my idea of heaven
why cant it always be so good
but its alright i know youre out there
doin what you gotta do
you are my soul satellite
i’d be lost in space without you

and i;ll never lose my faith in you
and i’ll never get to heaven if i do
