What is it with the jewellery? Tori Amos, undercover cop, use to collect items from men and women stolen from victims and where them on stage like an advertisement, "I found these on a friend of yours"...right..well, as so gossip as she sung new songs. Three things would happen, l, someone would take a plane out of town, 2, someone would hire a hitman 3. someone would head for the copyright department 4. someone would come out to watch the show. Special team effort. Interesting?
I wonder who is playing the piano -- when I had the album I never bothered to look. I just realized, this is the only song I can think of that doesn't have LC on guitar.
I love the meandering piano line, and the bass and horn are all thatis needed to accentuate the pure joy of this piece of work. It takes me back sooo many years and it's still as fresh as the first time I heard it.
Very true - this describes so many relationships. It is so easy to diss what one has, but it has so much value. My brother and I sang this to his (second) wife and she just so got it. It is an accurate and intelligent song.

He has certainly got better with age though !.
Check out the way he does this song on his latest album. A Far Better version alright.

Intenté dejarte, no lo niego.
Cerré el libro sobre nosotros al menos cien veces
pero desperté cada mañana a tu lado.
Los años pasan y tu pierdes tu orgullo.
El niño está llorando así que no sales.
Todo tu trabajo está justo delante de tus ojos.
Buenas noches, mi amor, espero que estés satisfecha.
La cama es un poco estrecha pero mis brazos están abiertos a lo ancho
y aquí hay un hombre trabajando aún por tu sonrisa.

Леонард Коен:
Пробао сам да те оставим,
не поричем,
Наша прича је била испричана стотинама пута.
Ипак, будио сам се поред тебе сваког јутра.
Године пролазе, изгубила си себе.
Беба плаче, не излазиш из куће, и све што имаш је ту пред твојим очима.
Лака ти ноћ, моја драга, надам се да си задовољна, кревет је мало тесан али моје руке су раширене.
А поред тебе је човек који још увек се труди да те усрећи!
