Who By Fire - Leonard Cohen

Everywhere you look You can write a book On the trouble of a woman and a man But you can not impose You can't stick your nose Into something that you don't understand But still you wonder Who's cheatin' who Who's being true And who don't even care anymore It makes you wonder Who's doin' right with someone tonight And who's car is parked next door I thought I knew her well I really couldn't tell That she had another lover on her mind You see it felt so right When she held me tight How could I be so blind But still you wonder Who's cheatin' who Who's being true And who don't even care anymore It makes you wonder Who's doin' right with someone tonight Who's car is parked next door A heart is on the line Each and every time Love is stolen in the shadows of the night Though it's wrong all along It keeps goin' on As long as you keep in outta sight Still you wonder Who's cheatin' who And who's being true Who don't even care anymore It makes you wonder Who's doin' right with someone tonight Who's car is parked next door Still you wonder Who's cheatin' who And who's being true And who don't even care anymore It makes you wonder Who's doin' right with someone tonight Who's car is parked next door Still you wonder Who's cheatin' who And who's being true And who don't even care anymore It makes you wonder Who's doin' right with someone tonight Who's car is parked next door

When you come after me and I go after you When both of us are doing what we want to do We both lie to each other, don't care much for the truth But tell me something, tell me something Who's hurting who? Who's hurting who? (Tell me something) Who's hurting who? Who's hurting who? (Oh) You love to take the long way, I just cut straight through You tell me who I am, I tell you what to do Both of us are victims of each other's contradictions When our instincts meet, we can't break through Who's hurting who? Who's hurting who? (Tell me something) Who's hurting who? Who's hurting who, who? Who's hurting who? (You have to admit it while I'm hurting you) Who's hurting who? (Tell me something) Who's hurting who? (You have to admit it while I'm hurting you) Who's hurting who, who? You don't want to kneel To my demands and how I can make you feel This is how I make you feel And when I don't wanna know What you have to say, I just turn away and go I always turn away and go Who's hurting who? (You have to admit it while I'm hurting you) Who's hurting who? (Tell me something) Who's hurting who? (You have to admit it while I'm hurting you) Who's hurting who, who? Who's hurting who? (You have to admit it while I'm hurting you) Who's hurting who? (Who keeps hurting, tell me something) Who's hurting who? (You have to admit it while I'm hurting you) Who's hurting who? (Who keeps hurting, who keeps hurting who?)

Let me tell you what I wish I'd known When I was young and dreamed of glory You have no control Who lives, who dies, who tells your story? President Jefferson I'll give him this, his financial system is a work of genius I couldn't undo it if I tried And I've tried Who lives, who dies, who tells your story? President Madison He took our country from bankruptcy to prosperity I hate to admit it But he doesn't get enough credit for all the credit he gave us Who lives, who dies, who tells your story Every other founding fathers' story gets told Every other founding father gets to grow old And when you're gone, who remembers your name? Who keeps your flame? Who tells your story? Who tells your story? Who tells your story? (Eliza) I put myself back in the narrative (Eliza) I stop wasting time on tears I live another 50 years It's not enough (Eliza) I interview every soldier who fought by your side (She tells our story) I try to make sense of your thousands of pages of writings You really do write like you're running out of time I rely on Angelica While she's alive, we tell your story She is buried in Trinity Church near you When I needed her most, she was right on time And I'm still not through I ask myself, what would you do if you had more time The Lord, in his kindness He gives me what you always wanted He gives me more time I raise funds in D.C. for the Washington Monument (She tells my story) I speak out against slavery You could have done so much more if you only had time And when my time is up, have I done enough? Will they tell your story? Oh, can I show you what I'm proudest of? (The orphanage) I established the first private orphanage in New York City (The orphanage) I help to raise hundreds of children I get to see them growing up (The orphanage) In their eyes I see you, Alexander I see you every time And when my time is up Have I done enough? Will they tell your story? Oh, I can't wait to see you again It's only a matter of time Will they tell your story? (Time) Who lives, who dies, who tells your story? (Time) Will they tell your story? (Time) Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?

You only feel it when it's lost Gettin' through still has a cost Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love Falling from you, drop by drop What I had left here I just held it tight So someone with your eyes Might come in time To hold me like water Or Christ, hold me like a knife We're born at night So much to the lives Is just carvin' through the dark To get so far And the hardest part Is who we are It's who we are You and I burned out our steam Chasing someone else's dream How can somethin' be so much heavier But so much less than what it seems? Darling, we sacrificed We gave our time to somethin' undefined This phantom life sharpens like an image But it sharpens like a knife We're born at night So much of our life Is just carvin' through the dark To get so far And the hardest part Is who we are That's who we are You only feel it when it's lost Gettin' through still has its cost Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love Fallin' from you, drop by drop
