Leonard Cohen - In The Middle Of The Night Lyrics

[Verse One]
I was standing on the stairs
In the middle of the night
The wind was filled with silver
And the moon was out of sight
Maybe I was waiting
But I knew that you could not come
The wind was soft as those ashes
That a moth leaves on your thumb

[Verse Two]
Your birthday traveled through me
Like a thread goes through a bead
And when the thread frayed and it parted
Why, then I floated just like the sea
And am I really lucky
Or am I really hexed?
And how does love distract me
From one moment to thе next?

[Verse Three]
I was standing on the stairs
In the middlе of the night
The dandelions, they were yellow
And the dandelions were white
I waited all of the morning
Most of the afternoon
My flower, it is the dandelion
And my window, it is the Moon
[Verse Four]
I wandered past my mother's lawn
While she lay fast asleep
The branches had all their flowers on
And the grass was green and very deep
And if she dreamed of something more
Than a lovechild wandering away from her door
Then I must wish this lady
One more sleep

[Verse Five]
And the city that I call my path
Was traveling into spring
I tried to take my love along
But I could not take anything
And are you really lucky
Or are you only hexed?
And how does love distract you
From one moment to the next?
