Leaving Green Sleeves

Leaving Green Sleeves -Leonard Cohen

Alas my love you did me wrong

To cast me out discourteously

For I have loved you so long

Delighting in your very company

Now if you intend

To show me disdain

Don't you know it all

The more enraptures me

For even so I still remain

Your lover in captivity

Green sleeves you're all alone

The leaves have fallen

The men have gone

Green sleeves

There's no one home

Not even the lady green sleeves

I sang my songs

I told my lies

To lie between your matchless thighs

And ain't it fine ain't it wild

To finally end our exercise

Then I saw you naked

In the early dawn

Oh I hoped you would be

Someone new

I reached for you

But you were gone

So lady I'm going too

Green sleeves you're all alone

The leaves have fallen

The men have all gone home

Green sleeves there's no one home

Leaving the lady green sleeves

Green sleeves you're all alone

The leaves have fallen

The men have all gone home

Green sleeves it's so easily done

I mean

Leaving the lady green sleeves
