Leonard Cohen

Store Room (Remastered)

It's not the wind that keeps you up
it's not the snow, it's not the moon
coming like a headlight through your window
it's not the thumbnail of a screen
that scrapes away your dream
It's just this man taking what he needs,
From the store room,

It's not the news of burning towns
that ruins your mind like a spool you turn and you turn
but it wound and wind nor these wars you did not start
they don't tear your sleep apart
It's just a man taking what he needs,
From the store room

And now this woman by your side
well, she's asleep and there's nothing can give her
there's nothing you wanna keep
you don't even try to prove that the noise is neighbour's making love
It's just a man taking what he needs,
From the store room

Well go to sleep and change a lots when you wake up
share your toast maybe spill some coffee from your cup
Oh there's nothing left to choose
and there is so much more to lose
There's this man taking what he needs,
From the store room

It's not the wind that keeps you up
it's not the snow, it's not the moon
coming like a headlight through your window
it's not the thumbnail of a screen
that scrapes away your dream
It's just a man taking what he needs,
From the store room,

It's not the news of burning towns
that ruins your mind like a spool you turn and turn
that wound and wind nor these wars you did not start
they don't tear your sleep apart
It's just a man taking what he needs,
From the store room

And now the woman by your side
well, she's awake but there's nothing you can give her
there's nothing you wanna take
you don't even try to prove that the noise is neighbour's making love
It's just a man taking what he needs,
From the store room

Oh go to sleep and change a lots when you wake up
share your toast maybe spill some coffee from your cup
He's got nothing left to choose
and you've got so much more to lose
There's just a man taking what he needs,
From the store room

It's not the wind...
