Leonard Cohen - Leaving the Table lyrics

[Leonard Cohen - Leaving the Table lyrics]

I'm leaving the table i'm out of the game
I don't know the people
In your picture frame
If I ever loved you or no, no
It's a crying shame if I ever loved you
If I knew your name

You don't need a lawyer
I'm not making a claim
You don't need to surrender
I'm not taking aim
I don't need a lover, no, no, no
The wretched beast is tame
I don't need a lover so blow out the flame

There's nobody missing there is no reward
Little by little we're cutting the cord
We're spending the treasure, oh, no, no
That love cannot afford
I know you can feel it
The sweetness restored

I don't need a reason for what I became
I've got these excuses
They're tired and lame
I don't need a pardon, no, no, no, no, no
There's no one left to blame
I'm leaving the table i'm out of the game

I'm leaving the table i'm out of the game
