leonard cohen - anyone can see (early version of sing another song, boys) lyrics

[verse 1]
his fingernails are broken
his ships they’re all on fire
the moneylender’s daughter
is eaten with desire
she spies him through the glasses
from the p+wnshops of her father
she hails him through a microphone
that an artist had to leave her
she tempts him with a clarinet
she waves a n+z+ dagger

[verse 2]
she finds his private clip
she wants to be his woman
he says he’ll go to sleep
if she’ll leave thе future open
he stands whеre it is steep
and he is not the first one
his hands upon his belt
like it was the wheel of some ocean liner
and she must wet her lips
as all the sails burn down like paper
and he has lit the chain
of his famous cigarillo
[verse 3]
the moon finds out too true
like somebody’s youngest daughter
it climbs the night all alone
and it carries no survivor
and anyone can see
who has no tickets from her father
and anyone can see
who never tied to be his brother
and anyone can see
who’s had to lie to keep a lover

[outro]
that they’re just two people
they’re just two people
i don’t know how to start
they’re getting miles and miles apart
and it’s happening right now in the dark
who do you lie close to?
does it feel like it’s supposed to?
they’re just two people
they’re just two people
they’re just two people
