From the- TRAVELLING LADY

a reply attempt to -WINTER LADY by Leonard Cohen

Travelling lady! she'd stay tonight,

The night's just getting warmer.

He's just not someone on her way,

Oh! she wishes he was her lover.

She's spend the night with smell of lust,

When she was a prisoner.

And now he keeps her warm through the cold,

Until time; got older.

He sleeps now, here; his hair a mess,

In a perfectly imperfect   manner.

And as the sun escapes the window crack,

She learns the scars on his shoulder.

But now he sees her, quiet and still,

Standing here, in the doorway.

I know she chose this journey before time,

But I pray, you'd tell her to stay.

Travelling lady! Its time to go,

The night 's almost over.

And even though he'as no word to share.

I know you wish he was her lover.

TWO

Two jailed lovers,

Make love tonight.

Not a whisper, Not a sound,

But tears in their eyes..

Two lonely souls,

Unite under the sky.

The Northern star stands witness,

To the magic so divine..

Two abandoned lives,

Find solitude in each 'ther's arms.

"Not a word, Not a promise

Was needed to be mine."

Two separated hearts

Now;Walk down different paths.

Distance would never separate,

The fire ignited by the spirited wine.

IF I STAY..

If I die, my love, don’t you cry;

Don’t wear black, grey or shades of white.

Don’t come with your lovely face hanging down;

Neither stain your divine eyes with teary glance; Not a frown.

If I die, my dear, smile; Laugh,

Replay all my stupidities in your mind.

Laugh;as if I am there, right there;

Making faces at you, standing behind my garlanded frame.

If I die, my sweetheart, close your eyes;

And feel my words whisper in your heart.

Never was I brave enough to tell you when and why;

But then never did I know, today I was to die.

If I die, my all, know I’d live

If given a second chance, you’d hear me believe.

But now, right now, know I’d say;

Just that one thing. If only I could stay.
