Leaving Green Sleeves - Leonard Cohen

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

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

I sang my songs, 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

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

Green sleeves, you're all alone

The leaves have fallen, the men have all gone home

Green sleeves, it's so easily done

And he leaving the Lady Green Sleeves
