Leonard

När första tonerna började klinga slog det mig som en slägga. Insikten att jag verkligen är romantisk. För Cohens texter handlar ju för fan bara om kärlek i dess former. När första låten led mot sitt slut såg jag hur den äldre mannen på bänken framför mig torkade sina tårar. Han var inte ensam. Det var sjukt bra. Hur kan en 73-årig man lyckas framstå som sexig? För på något vis lyckas han utan att verka ett dugg gubbsjuk.

I'm your man

If you want a lover
Ill do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
Ill wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
Im your man

If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
Ill examine every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
Im your man

Ah, the moons too bright
The chains too tight
The beast wont go to sleep
Ive been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
Ah but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
Or Id crawl to you baby
And Id fall at your feet
And Id howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And Id claw at your heart
And Id tear at your sheet
Id say please, please
Im your man

And if youve got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone
Ill disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand
Im your man

If you want a lover
Ill do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
Ill wear a mask for you
