Lady midnight Akordy
Leonard Cohen
GI came by G7myself, to a Fvery crowded Cplace
GI was looking for G7someone, who had Flines in her Cface
CI found her there, C7but she was Fpast all con-cern
CI asked her to Fhold me, Dmi said, "Lady, un-fold me,"
But she Cscorned me,and she Ftold me
I wasG dead , G7and I could never Creturn.
Well, I argued all night like so many have before
Saying, "Whatever you give me, I seem to need so much more."
Then she pointed at me where I kneeled on her floor
She said, "Don't try to use me or slyly refuse me
Just win me or lose me
It is this that the darkness is for."
I cried, "Oh, Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old
The stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold."
"If we cry now," she said, "It will just be ignored."
So I walked through the morning, sweet early morning
I could hear my lady calling
"You've won me, you've won me, my lord
You've won me, you've won me my lord
Yes, you've won me, you've won me, my lord
Ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord
Ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord."
