Leaving Green Sleeves

Leaving Green Sleeves -Leonard Cohen
Alas my love you did me wrong
To cast me out discourteously
For I have loved you so long
Delighting in your very company
Now if you intend
To show me disdain
Don't you know it all
The more enraptures me
For even so I still remain
Your lover in captivity
Green sleeves you're all alone
The leaves have fallen
The men have gone
Green sleeves
There's no one home
Not even the lady green sleeves
I sang my songs
I told my lies
To lie between your matchless thighs
And ain't it fine ain't it wild
To finally end our exercise
Then I saw you naked
In the early dawn
Oh I hoped you would be
Someone new
I reached for you
But you were gone
So lady I'm going too
Green sleeves you're all alone
The leaves have fallen
The men have all gone home
Green sleeves there's no one home
Leaving the lady green sleeves
Green sleeves you're all alone
The leaves have fallen
The men have all gone home
Green sleeves it's so easily done
I mean
Leaving the lady green sleeves
