My Lady Can Sleep by Leonard Cohen
Performed by
Leonard CohenMy Lady Can Sleep Annotated
My lady can sleep
Upon a handkerchief
Or if it be Fall
Upon a fallen leaf.
I have seen the hunters
kneel before her hem
Even in her sleep
She turns away from them.
The only gift they offer
Is their abiding grief
I pull out my pockets
For a handkerchief or leaf.
