lyrics

What she asks is a trifle, nothing more.
Someone to to do her bidding like soldier,
or she loves the war.
I’m kidding. She loves the bidding war.

It’s New Year’s Eve
I’m looking at a picture of Leonard Cohen
looking at a picture of a woman with her head turned
in the window of a store,
and then I’m in the store,
and she loves the bidding war.

And I follow that car, and I follow that man,
unremitting and alone again.
And who’s watching me? well they are,
and they were just some teenagers,
bored and on the phone again.

And as I watched them all grow,
I was getting valuable,
Oh, but they never said when.
So will this stranger be a stranger,
or will this stranger love me till the end?

No

Or

Or she loves the question,
but friend I know the question
hasn’t got the heart of a cold war.

And she loves . . .

Or I love the question,
and just haven’t got the heart for
the end.
