Chelsea Hotel (Early Live Version) Leonard Cohen

Here’s a new song that we… just wrote a couple weeks ago
Takes place in the Chelsea Hotel in New York City
And it’s for a brave woman who, uh
Put an end to it all

I remember you well
In the Chelsea Hotel
You were talkin’ so brave and so sweet
Givin’ me head on the unmade bed
While the limousines wait in the street

And those were the reasons
And that was New York
I was runnin’ for the monеy and the flesh
I’ll say it again
I was runnin’ for the monеy and the flesh
And that was called love
For the workers in song
And it still is for those of us left

Ah, but you got away
Didn’t you, babe?
Just threw it all to the ground
You got away
They can’t pay you now
For makin’ your sweet little sound
Can they?
Makin’ your sweet little sound?
On the juke box
Makin’ your sweet little sound
On the radio
Makin’ your sweet little sound
