On opener “Keepsake”, the bittersweet beats tenderise the tune as Cohen snags between a beloved and a betrayal: “Here’s a keepsake for you/My heart in pieces, in pieces and in two”. Setting the recurring themes aside, the insistent wall of sound heralds a shift away from the arching ache of Cohen’s...
[Verse 2]
Here's a keepsake for you
My heart in pieces, in pieces, in two
Tell me her name, tell me her name, tell me her name, tell me
Was she the one, oh was she worth it?
And if she isn’t
Then take me with you
[Chorus]
Tell me you still love me
And that I should know
If I, if I, if I asked you to leave her
Would you go?
[Post-Chorus]
Tell me her name, tell me her name, tell me her name, tell me her name, tell me her name
Tell me her name, tell me her name, tell me her name, tell me her name, tell me her name
[Verse 2]
Here's a keepsake for you, baby
My heart in pieces, in pieces, in two
[Bridge]
Was it just a lie?
To keep me down
I don't wanna know, I don’t wanna
I don't wanna know why but I still
Keep coming around
[Chorus]
Tell me you still love me
And that I should know
If I, if I, if I asked you to leave her
Would you go?
Tell me you still love me
And that, and that, and that, and that I should know
If I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I
If I asked you to leave her
Would you, would you go?
