Samson In New Orleans – Leonard CohenBy You said that you were with meYou said you were my friendDid you really love the cityOr did you just pretendYou said you loved her secretsAnd her freedoms hid awayShe was better than AmericaThat’s what I heard you sayYou said how could this happenYou said how can this beThe remnant all dishonoredOn the bridge of miseryAnd we who cried for mercyFrom the bottom of the pitWas our prayer so damn unworthyThe Son rejected it?So gather up the killersGet everyone in townStand me by those pillarsLet me take this temple downThe king so kind and solemnHe wears a bloody crownSo stand me by that columnLet me take this temple downYou said how could this happenYou said how can this beThe chains are gone from heavenThe storms are wild and freeThere’s other ways to answerThat certainly is trueMe, I’m blind with death and angerAnd that’s no place for youThere’s a woman in the windowAnd a bed in Tinsel TownI’ll write you when it’s overLet me take this temple down www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
