Winter Lady Lyrics - Songs Of Leonard Cohen - Leonard Cohen

Trav'ling lady, stay awhile 

Until the night is over. 

I'm just a station on your way, 

I know I'm not your lover. 

Well I lived with a child of snow 

When I was a soldier, 

And I fought every man for her 

Until the nights grew colder. 

She used to wear her hair like you 

Except when she was sleeping, 

And then she'd weave it on a loom 

Of smoke and gold and breathing. 

And why are you so quiet now 

Standing there in the doorway? 

You chose your journey long before 

You came upon this highway. 

Traveling lady stay awhile 

Until the night is over. 

I'm just a station on your way, 

I know I'm not your lover.
