Leonard Cohen
The gypsy's wife
from the record: Field Commander Cohen. Tour of 1979 (Sony Music ent. Columbia. 501225 2)
And where, where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight
I've heard all the wild reports, they can't be right
But whose head is this she's dancing with on the threshing floor
whose darkness deepens in her arms a little more
And where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
Where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
Ah the silver knives are flashing in the tired old cafe
A ghost climbs on the table in a bridal negligee
She says, "My body is the light, my body is the way"
I raise my arm against it all and I catch the bride's bouquet
And where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?...
Too early for the rainbow, too early for the dove
These are the final days, this is the darkness, this is the flood
And there is no man or woman who can't be touched
But you who come between them will be judged
And where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?...

simply.... there is nothing to add to it ...
words can not describe what I just listened
-
imho the version with that great movie in the bar (fest) is for me the best version. sadly enough I can't find it anymore. There are now so many versions life recorded with phones.....nice but poor quality
-
@Stranglethroat nice one:D

Just stay away from Cohen.

The best version of one of the best songs, ever.
If you can listen to this and feel nothing, you are probably a serial killer..!

IMO, this live performance is way better than the studio version!
