                                        Leonard Cohen -  Closing Time слова песни 
                                    
                                    
                             
                            
                            
                                
     
 
                                                                     
Ah we`re drinking and we`re dancing 
and the band is really happening 
and the Johnny Walker wisdom running high 
And my very sweet companion 
she`s the Angel of Compassion 
she`s rubbing half the world against her thigh 
And every drinker every dancer 
lifts a happy face to thank her 
the fiddler fiddles something so sublime 
all the women tear their blouses off 
and the men they dance on the polka-dots 
and it`s partner found, it`s partner lost 
and it`s hell to pay when the fiddler stops: 
it`s CLOSING TIME 
 
Yeah the women tear their blouses off 
and the men they dance on the polka-dots 
and it`s partner found, it`s partner lost 
and it`s hell to pay when the fiddler stops: 
it`s CLOSING TIME 
 
Ah we`re lonely, we`re romantic 
and the cider`s laced with acid 
and the Holy Spirit`s crying, "Where`s the beef?" 
And the moon is swimming naked 
and the summer night is fragrant 
with a mighty expectation of relief 
So we struggle and we stagger 
down the snakes and up the ladder 
to the tower where the blessed hours chime 
and I swear it happened just like this: 
a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss 
the Gates of Love they budged an inch 
I can`t say much has happened since 
but CLOSING TIME 
 
I swear it happened just like this: 
a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss 
the Gates of Love they budged an inch 
I can`t say much has happened since 
CLOSING TIME 
 
I loved you for your beauty 
but that doesn`t make a fool of me: 
you were in it for your beauty too 
and I loved you for your body 
there`s a voice that sounds like God to me 
declaring, declaring, declaring that your body`s really you 
And I loved you when our love was blessed 
and I love you now there`s nothing left 
but sorrow and a sense of overtime 
and I missed you since the place got wrecked 
And I just don`t care what happens next 
looks like freedom but it feels like death 
it`s something in between, I guess 
it`s CLOSING TIME 
 
Yeah I missed you since the place got wrecked 
By the winds of change and the weeds of sex 
looks like freedom but it feels like death 
it`s something in between, I guess 
it`s CLOSING TIME 
 
Yeah we`re drinking and we`re dancing 
but there`s nothing really happening 
and the place is dead as Heaven on a Saturday night 
And my very close companion 
gets me fumbling gets me laughing 
she`s a hundred but she`s wearing 
something tight 
and I lift my glass to the Awful Truth 
which you can`t reveal to the Ears of Youth 
except to say it isn`t worth a dime 
And the whole damn place goes crazy twice 
and it`s once for the devil and once for Christ 
but the Boss don`t like these dizzy heights 
we`re busted in the blinding lights, 
busted in the blinding lights 
of CLOSING TIME 
 
The whole damn place goes crazy twice 
and it`s once for the devil and once for Christ 
but the Boss don`t like these dizzy heights 
we`re busted in the blinding lights, 
busted in the blinding lights 
of CLOSING TIME 
 
Oh the women tear their blouses off 
and the men they dance on the polka-dots 
  It`s CLOSING TIME 
And it`s partner found, it`s partner lost 
and it`s hell to pay when the fiddler stops 
  It`s CLOSING TIME 
I swear it happened just like this: 
a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss 
  It`s CLOSING TIME 
The Gates of Love they budged an inch 
I can`t say much has happened since 
  But CLOSING TIME 
I loved you when our love was blessed 
I love you now there`s nothing left 
  But CLOSING TIME 
I miss you since the place got wrecked 
By the winds of change and the weeds of sex.
