Píseň: There For You

Interpret:
Leonard Cohen
Album:
Dear Heather
When it  all went down
And the pain came through
I get it now
I was there for you
Don't ask me how
I know it's true
I get it now
I was there for you


I make my plans
Like I always do
But when I look back
I was there for you
I walk the streets
Like I used to do
And I freeze with fear
But I'm there for you
I see my life
In full review
It was never me
It was always you


You sent me here
You sent me there
Breaking things
I can't repair
Making objects
Out of thoughts
Making more
By thinking not


Eating food
And drinking wine
A body that
I thought was mine
Dressed as Arab
Dressed as Jew
A mask of iron
I was there for you
Moods of glory


Moods so foul
The world comes through
A bloody towel
And death is old
But it's always new
I freeze with fear
And I'm there for you
I see it clear
I always knew
It was never me
I was there for you


I was there for you
My darling one
And by your law
It all was done


Don't ask me how
I know it's true
I get it now
I was there for you


Don't ask me how
I know it's true
I get it now
I was there for you


Don't ask me how
I know it's true
I get it now
I was there for you ....
