[00:00.000] 作词 : Leonard Cohen
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Leonard Cohen
[00:02.346]It's true that all the men you knew were dealers
[00:07.91]who said they were through with dealing
[00:10.81]Every time you gave them shelter
[00:15.153]I know that kind of man
[00:16.786]It's hard to hold the hand of anyone
[00:18.746]who is reaching for the sky just to surrender.
[00:25.85]who is reaching for the sky just to surrender.
[00:26.145]And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind
[00:34.960]you find he did not leave you very much
[00:38.584]not even laughter
[00:41.786]Like any dealer he was watching for the card
[00:45.421]that is so high and wild
[00:47.288]he'll never need to deal another
[00:51.851]He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
[00:54.773]He was just some Joseph looking for a manger.
[01:03.34]And then leaning on your window sill
[01:06.30]he'll say one day you caused his will
[01:08.753]to weaken with your love and warmth and shelter
[01:13.482]And then taking from his wallet
[01:15.446]an old schedule of trains,he'll say
[01:19.280]I told you when I came I was a stranger.
[01:21.325]But now another stranger seems to want you to ignore his dreams
[01:29.56]as though they were the burden of some other
[01:35.115]O you've seen that man before
[01:36.970]his golden arm dispatching cards
[01:39.470]but now it's rusted from the elbow to the finger
[01:45.540]And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter
[01:50.310]Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter.
[01:56.395]You hate to watch another tired man
[01:59.604]lay down his hand
[02:00.914]like he was giving up the holy game of poker
[02:07.229]And while he talks his dreams to sleep
[02:09.269]you notice there's a highway
[02:11.450]that is curling up like smoke above his shoulder
[02:14.545]It's curling up like smoke above his shoulder.
[02:23.395]You tell him to come in sit down
[02:26.902]but something makes you turn around
[02:28.964]The door is open you can't close you shelter
[02:31.688]You try the handle of the road
[02:35.303]It opens do not be afraid
[02:38.37]It's you my love,you who are the stranger
[02:40.834]It is you my love,you who are the stranger.
[02:49.518]Well,I've been waiting,I was sure
[02:51.156]we'd meet between the trains we're waiting for
[02:54.683]I think it's time to board another
[02:59.893]Please understand,I never had a secret chart
[03:02.963]to get me to the heart of this
[03:06.662]or any other matter
[03:07.902]Well he talks like this
[03:17.853]you don't know what he's after
[03:18.43]When he speaks like this,
[03:19.628]you don't know what he's after.
[03:21.254]Let's meet tomorrow if you chose
[03:22.442]upon the shore,beneath the bridge
[03:24.523]that they are building on some endless river
[03:32.548]Then he leaves the platform
[03:33.827]for the sleeping car that's warm
[03:36.697]You realize,he's only advertising one more shelter
[03:39.867]And it comes to you,he never was a stranger
[03:47.285]And you say ok the bridge or someplace later.
[03:50.409]And then sweeping up the jokers
[03:55.367]that he left behind
[03:58.548]you find he did not leave you very much
[04:00.658]not even laughter
[04:01.582]Like any dealer he was watching for the card
[04:07.472]that is so high and wild
[04:11.432]he'll never need to deal another
[04:14.32]He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
[04:16.397]He was just some Joseph looking for a manger.
[04:25.401]And leaning on your window sill
[04:28.221]he'll say one day you caused his will
[04:31.56]to weaken with your love and warmth and shelter
[04:33.285]And then taking from his wallet
[04:38.91]an old schedule of trains
[04:40.328]he'll say I told you when I came I was a stranger
[04:43.881]I told you when I came I was a stranger.
[04:47.788]I told you when I came I was a stranger.
