歌手:Leonard Cohen
专辑:《Almost Like the Blues》

I saw some people starving

There was murder there was rape

Their villages were burning

They were trying to escape

I couldn’t meet their glances
I was staring at my shoes
It was acid it was tragic

It was almost like the blues

It was almost like the blues

I have to die a little

Between each murderous thought

And when I’m finished thinking

I have to die a lot

There’s torture and there’s killing
And there’s all my bad reviews

The war the children missing
Lord it’s almost like the blues

It’s almost like the blues

So I let my heart get frozen

To keep away the rot

My father said I’m chosen

My mother said I’m not

I listened to their story

Of the Gypsies and the Jews
It was good it wasn’t boring

It was almost like the blues

It was almost like the blues

There is no God in Heaven

And there is no Hell below

So says the great professor

Of all there is to know

But I’ve had the invitation

That a sinner can’t refuse
And it’s almost like salvation

It’s almost like the blues

It’s almost like the blues

Almost like the blues

Almost like the blues
