Leonard Cohen
Leaving Green Sleeves

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
I sang my song, 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

[Chorus]
Green sleeves, you're all alone
The leaves have fallen, the men are gone
Green sleeves, there's no one home
Not even the Lady Green Sleeves
[Chorus]
Green sleeves, you're all alone
The leaves have fallen, the men have all gone home
Green sleeves, it's so easily done
Leaving the Lady Green Sleeves
