Leaving the Table
Leonard Cohen
Intro : ... ... I'm leaving the table I'm out of the game I don't know the people In your picture frame If I ever loved you, oh no It's a crying shame If I ever loved you If I knew your name You don't need a lawyer I'm not making a claim You don't need to surrender I'm not taking aim I don't need a lover, no no The wretched beast is tame I don't need a lover So blow out the flame There's nobody missing There is no reward Little by little We're cutting the cord We're spending the treasure That love cannot afford I know you can feel it The sweetness restored (Couplet instrumental) I don't need a reason For what I became I've got these excuses They're tired and lame I don't need a pardon, no no There's no one left to blame I'm leaving the table I'm out of the game I'm leaving the table I'm out of the game
