Hey that's No Way to Say Goodbye

leonard cohen

 

From Cohen's first album "Songs of Leonard Cohen"(1967). Sounds very much like famous "Suzanne", but another girl and different stanzas ... and not so cryptic.


I loved you in the morning • our kisses sweet and warm
your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
yes many loved before us • I know that we are not new
in city and in forest they smiled like me and you
but now it's come to distances and both of us must try
your eyes are soft with sorrow and hey • that is no way to say goodbye

I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time
walk me to the corner • our steps will always rhyme
you know my love goes with you as your love stays with me
it's just the way it changes like the shore line and the sea
but let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie
your eyes are soft with sorrow and hey • that is no way to say goodbye

well I loved you in the morning • our kisses deep and warm
your hair upon the pillow like sleepy golden storm
yes many loved before us • I know that we are not new
in city and in forest they smiled like me and you
but let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie
your eyes are soft with sorrow and hey • that is no way to say goodbye
