Karaoké Seems So Long Ago, Nancy Leonard Cohen

It seems so long ago

Nancy was alone

Looking at the late late show through a semi precious stone

In the house of honesty her father was on trial

In the house of mystery there was no one at all

There was no one at all

It seems so long ago

None of us were strong

Nancy wore green stockings and she slept with everyone

She never said she'd wait for us although she was alone

I think she fell in love for us in nineteen sixty one in nineteen sixty one

It seems so long ago

Nancy was alone a fourty five beside her head an open telephone

We told her she was beautiful we told her she was free

But none of us would meet her in

The house of mystery the house of mystery

And now you look around you

See her everywhere

Many use her body many comb her hair

In the hollow of the night when you are cold and numb

You hear her talking freely then

She's happy that you've come she's happy that you've come
