When Will My Man Come? lyrics

by

Leonard Cohen


This winter is making me his b*tch
My body heat blown away like a birthday wish
I reach my bare arm out to turn a calendar page
His cold hands grabbed me and I feel my age

Can a heart already touched still be taken?
Will anybody know what I look like naked?
Oh it's just some time to close my eyes
And he's here

[Chorus]
Oh, we’ll slip in sideways
Never laid my eyes on it
Careful to never see the sun
When will I be the one
To someone?
When will my man come?

I want to be warm
Trapped in somebody's arms
I need someone to put a roof between me and these stars
But all of the people I know are strangers
My empty body's too full of anger to let anyone in

I've got my reasons
So fill me with sin
And leave the next season
Cold glass warm shatters into shards
If the winter doesn't kill me then the thaw will stop my heart

[Chorus]
Heard somebody singing
He said my heart is sinking
Could have stayed, so why did I run?
When will I be the one
To someone?
When will my man come?

Help me with what I found out
Nothing ever has to work out
Only chance and choice of freedom
Don’t have to be rich fun or handsome
You don't have to come at all

When will my man come?
When will my man come?
When will my man come?
When will my man come?
When will my man come?
When will my man come?
When will my man come?
When will my man come?
