A BUNCH OF LONESOME HEROES- Leonard Cohen

A bunch of lonesome and very quarrelsome heroes
Were smoking out along the open road
The night was very dark and thick between them
Each man beneath his ordinary load

CHORUS:
“I’d like to tell my story”
Said one of them so young and bold
“I’d like to tell my story
Before I turn into gold”

But no one really could hear him
The night so dark and thick and green
Well I guess that these heroes must always live there
Where you and I have only been

CHORUS #2:
Put out your cigarette, my love
You’ve been alone too long
And some of us are very hungry now
To hear what it is you’ve done that was so wrong

I sing this for the crickets
I sing this for the army
I sing this for your children
And for all who do not need me

CHORUS #3:
“I’d like to tell my story”
Said one of them so bold
“Oh yes, I’d like to tell my story
‘Cos you know I feel I’m turning into gold”
