Leaving the Table

Leonard Cohen final album

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] I'm leaving the table I'm out of the game I don't know the people In your picture frame If I ever loved you or no, no It's a crying shame if I ever loved you If I knew your name [Verse 2] You don't need a lawyer I'm not making a claim You don't need to surrender I'm not taking aim I don't need a lover, no, no, no The wretched beast is tame I don't need a lover So blow out the flame [Verse 3] There's nobody missing There is no reward Little by little We're cutting the cord We're spending the treasure, oh, no, no That love cannot afford I know you can feel it The sweetness restored [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] I don't need a reason For what I became I've got these excuses They're tired and lame I don't need a pardon, no, no, no, no, no There's no one left to blame I'm leaving the table I'm out of the game [Outro] I'm leaving the table I'm out of the game
