Leonard Cohen – Room 424 lyrics
You came from the tribe of King David
And all those poems and prayers that you painted
Like the wise ancient biblical scrolls
Are tattooed into our hearts and souls
You were clothed in elegance and style
You could melt a thousand hearts with your smile
You never lost your fire and your passion
Nor your kindness and your compassion
Sing Hallelujah
The Ladies Man is gone
And we are left with his songs
The Ladies Man is now gone
But his memory will linger on and on
Sing Hallelujah
Sing Hallelujah
When they robbed you of your money
You pretended all was fine and sunny
You didn’t want anyone to show you pity
Coz one thing they couldn’t steal from you was your dignity
You went back on the road again
You were born to entertain
Your ten new songs were refreshing
May your memory be a blessing
Sing Hallelujah
The Ladies Man is gone
And we are left with his songs
The Ladies Man is now gone
But his memory will linger on and on
Sing Hallelujah
With Pearl in Chelsea’s Room 424
On the unmade bed while the taxi waited outside by the door
In the summer of love you had met Joni
And you wrote for her Winter Lady
Like many others she wouldn’t stay
When you left, you went on her birth day
Sing Hallelujah
You knew so many women in your life
Despite them all you never took a wife
Thanks Leo for the dance
For your songs of love and loss and romance
Sing Hallelujah
And Maryanne
Was close enough to take your hand
But was too far to hold
You said ‘safe travels, we’ll meet on down the road’
Sing Hallelujah
The chariot you’re climbing aboard
You whisper to the driver ‘I’m ready oh Lord’
‘I’m ready oh Lord’
‘I’m ready oh Lord’
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Sing Hallelujah
Take me home
Sing Hallelujah
Take me home
Sing Hallelujah
Sing Hallelujah
Sing Hallelujah
