I Left A Woman Waiting

I left a woman waiting 
I met her sometime later 
She said, I see your eyes are dead 
What happened to you, lover? 
What happened to you, my lover? 
What happened to you, lover? 
What happened to you? 
And since she spoke the truth to me 
I tried to answer truthfully 
Whatever happened to my eyes 
Happened to your beauty 
Happened to your beauty 
What happened to your beauty 
Happened to me 
We took ourselves to someone's bed 
And there we fell together 
Quick as dogs and truly dead were we 
And free as running water 
Free as running water 
Free as running water 
Free as you and me 
The way it's got to be 
The way it's got to be, lover
Leonard Cohen
