Leonard Cohen – Almost Like the Blues

Leonard Cohen – Almost Like the Blues Lyrics

Artist: Leonard Cohen
Song: Almost Like the Blues

I saw some people starving
There was murder, there was rape
Their villages were burning
They were trying to escape

I couldn’t meet their glances
I was staring at my shoes
It was acid, it was tragic
It was almost like the blues

It was almost like the blues
I have to die a little
Between each murderous thought
And when I’m finished thinking

I have to die a lot
There’s torture and there’s killing
And there’s all my bad reviews
The war, the children missing

Lord, it’s almost like the blues
It’s almost like a blues
So I let my heart get frozen
To keep away the rot

My father says I’m chosen
My mother says I’m not
I listened to their story
Of the Gypsies and the Jews

It was good, it wasn’t boring
It was almost like the blues
It was almost like the blues
There is no God in Heaven

And there is no Hell below
So says the great professor
Of all there is to know
But I’ve had the invitation

That a sinner can’t refuse
And it’s almost like salvation
It’s almost like the blues
It’s almost like a blues

Almost like a blues
