Leonard Cohen Lyrics

Album: Death Of A Ladies' Man

I Left A Woman Waiting 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
