[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. [04:53.06].................. [04:53.811]....................... [04:54.161]we are the stranger........
