Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye (Live) [06/25/76 Montreux Jazz Festival, Casino de Montreux, Montreux, Switzerland] Songtext
von Leonard Cohen

I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
Yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new
In city and in forest they smiled like me and you
But now it′s come to distances and both of us must try

Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye


I′m not looking for another as I wander in my time
Walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme
You know, my love goes with you as your love stays with me
It's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea

But let's not talk of love or chains and things we can′t untie
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that′s no way to say goodbye

I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow, like a sleepy golden storm
Yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new
In city and in forest they smiled like me and you

But let's not talk of love or chains and things we can′t untie
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
