I Left A Woman Waiting Lyrics - Death Of A Ladies' Man - Leonard Cohen

I left a woman waiting 

I met her sometime later 

She said, I see your eyes are dead 

What happened to you, lover? 

What happened to you, my lover? 

What happened to you, lover? 

What happened to you? 

And since she spoke the truth to me 

I tried to answer truthfully 

Whatever happened to my eyes 

Happened to your beauty 

Happened to your beauty 

What happened to your beauty 

Happened to me 

We took ourselves to someone's bed 

And there we fell together 

Quick as dogs and truly dead were we 

And free as running water 

Free as running water 

Free as running water 

Free as you and me 

The way it's got to be 

The way it's got to be, lover
