Winter Lady lyrics

Song information

Artist: Leonard Cohen
Album: The Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Lyrics

(From the album 'songs of leonard cohen')

Trav'ling lady, stay awhile
Until the night is over
I'm just a station on your way
I know I'm not your lover

Well I lived with a child of snow
When I was a soldier
And I fought every man for her
Until the nights grew colder

She used to wear her hair like you
Except when she was sleeping
And then she'd weave it on a loom
Of smoke and gold and breathing

And why are you so quiet now
Standing there in the doorway?
You chose your journey long before
You came upon this highway

Trav'ling lady stay awhile
Until the night is over
I'm just a station on your way
I know I'm not your lover
