Nancy Lyrics - Leonard Cohen

The morning had not come, 

Nancy was alone, 

Looking at the Late Late show 

Through a semi?precious stone 

In the House of Honesty 

Her father was on trial, 

In the House of Mystery 

There was no one at all, 

There was no one there at all 

It seems so long ago, 

None of us were very strong; 

Ah, but Nancy wore green stockings 

And she, she slept with everyone 

She never said she'd wait for us 

Even though she was alone, 

I think she fell in love for us 

In nineteen sixty one, 

In nineteen sixty one 

Ah the morning would not come, 

Nancy was alone, 

A forty five beside her head, 

An open telephone 

Yes, we told her she was beautiful, 

We all told her she was free 

But none of us could meet her in 

The House of Mystery, 

The House of Mystery 

And now why don't you look around you, 

See her everywhere, 

Many of you who used her body, 

Many combed her hair 

And in the hollow of the night 

When you are cold and numb 

You hear her talking freely then, 

She's happy that you've come, 

She's happy that you've come
