(after Lorca)
Now in Vienna there's ten pretty women
There's a shoulder where Death comes to cry
There's a lobby with nine hundred windows
There's a tree where the doves go to die
There's a piece that was torn from the morning
And it hangs in the Gallery of Frost
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take this waltz with the clamp on it's jaws
Oh I want you, I want you, I want you
On a chair with a dead magazine
In the cave at the tip of the lily
In some hallways where love's never been
On a bed where the moon has been sweating
In a cry filled with footsteps and sand
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take it's broken waist in your hand
This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
With it's very own breath of brandy and Death
Dragging it's tail in the sea
There's a concert hall in Vienna
Where your mouth had a thousand reviews
There's a bar where the boys have stopped talking
They've been sentenced to death by the blues
Ah, but who is it climbs to your picture
With a garland of freshly cut tears?
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take this waltz it's been dying for years
There's an attic where children are playing
Where I've got to lie down with you soon
In a dream of Hungarian lanterns
In the mist of some sweet afternoon
And I'll see what you've chained to your sorrow
All your sheep and your lilies of snow
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
With it's "I'll never forget you, you know!"
This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz ...
And I'll dance with you in Vienna
I'll be wearing a river's disguise
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder,
My mouth on the dew of your thighs
And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook,
With the photographs there, and the moss
And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty
My cheap violin and my cross
And you'll carry me down on your dancing
To the pools that you lift on your wrist
Oh my love, Oh my love
Take this waltz, take this waltz
It's yours now. It's all that there is
Leonard Norman Eliezer Cohen (Montreal, September 21, 1934 – Los Angeles, November 7, 2016) was a Canadian singer-songwriter, poet, novelist, and composer of Jewish origin. Considered one of the most influential singer-songwriters of the 20th century, Cohen achieved international fame for his musical style characterized by melancholic melodies and poetic lyrics that explored themes such as religion, love, loss, and spirituality. His artistic career spanned over five decades, during which he released 14 studio albums, selling millions of copies worldwide. Cohen began his career as a poet, publishing several volumes of verse before turning to music in the 1960s. His debut album, *Songs of Leonard Cohen*, was released in 1967 and included classics such as "Suzanne" and "So Long, Marianne". Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, he explored new musical genres, collaborating with artists like John Cale, and his albums *New Skin for the Old Ceremony* (1974) and *Various Positions* (1984) achieved great success. In 2001, he released the album *Ten New Songs*, which marked a return to a more traditional musical form. Besides music, Cohen was also a prolific writer of novels, essays, and poetry. His literary work has been widely recognized and awarded. In 2016, shortly before his death, he released his final album *You Want It Darker*.
