Lyrics:
Say a prayer for the cowboy
His mare's run away
And he'll walk til he finds her
His darling, his stray
But the river's in flood
And the roads are awash
And the bridges break up
In the panic of loss
And there's nothing to follow
There's nowhere to go
She's gone like the summer
Gone like the snow
And the crickets are breaking
His heart with their song
As the day caves in
And the night is all wrong
Did he dream, was it she
Who went galloping past
And bent down the fern
Broke open the grass
And printed the mud with
The iron and the gold
That he nailed to her feet
When he was the lord
And although she goes grazing
A minute away
He tracks her all night
He tracks her all day
Oh blind to her presence
Except to compare
His injury here
With her punishment there
Then at home on a branch
In the highest tree
A songbird sings out
So suddenly
Ah the sun is warm
And the soft winds ride
On the willow trees
By the river side
Oh the world is sweet
The world is wide
And she's there where
The light and the darkness divide
And the steam's coming off her
She's huge and she's shy
And she steps on the moon
When she paws at the sky
And she comes to his hand
But she's not really tame
She longs to be lost
He longs for the same
And she'll bolt and she'll plunge
Through the first open pass
To roll and to feed
In the sweet mountain grass
Or she'll make a break
For the high plateau
Where there's nothing above
And there's nothing below
And it's time for the burden
It's time for the whip
Will she walk through the flame
Can he shoot from the hip
So he binds himself
To the galloping mare
And she binds herself
To the rider there
And there is no space
But there's left and right
And there is no time
But there's day and night
And he leans on her neck
And he whispers low
"Whither thou goest
I will go"
And they turn as one
And they head for the plain
No need for the whip
Ah, no need for the rein
Now the clasp of this union
Who fastens it tight?
Who snaps it asunder
The very next night
Some say the rider
Some say the mare
Or that love's like the smoke
Beyond all repair
But my darling says
"Leonard, just let it go by
That old silhouette
On the great western sky"
So I pick out a tune
And they move right along
And they're gone like the smoke
And they're gone like this song
And they are gone like the smoke, and they are gone like this song.
Rest in peace, Leo.
The cowboy song to end all cowboy songs. God it’s just beautiful.
Jeremy Sphincter,
This is beautiful. Emmylou Harris also recorded it in her unique way.
As for it being "The cowboy song to end all cowboy songs", I think Ed Bruce wrote that one:
"Ed Bruce - The Last Cowboy Song" -- James Stiltner

@@ArcoZakus Leonard wrote her a letter congratulating and thanking her for making it.
Yes it is beautiful
Yesss!!❤
superb spiritual psychological song. one of the best ever written.
Leonard wir vermissen Dich. Ein wunderbarer Musiker und Mensch. Emmylou Harris covert das auch genial.❤🇨🇭
Nobody else could bring this off.
And the backing singers!...
Can't read now, misplaced the glasses ; Everytime listening to this song, reminds me. : how lucky we are to exist in the world ❤
Wish, we all ( humans) use every opportunity to love all our siblings ( all the creatures, starting with ourselves ) and our very home, lap of maamaa EARTH 🌎 ❤
Cohen songs are sweet and sad. This man really understood the emotional turmoils one can live, great poetry
I was so lucky to see Leonard in Zurich, Switzerland in the early 70s - thank you Leonard for all you have done for us. RIP
👍👍👏👏❤️🇨🇭
So beautiful! Couldn't stop playing the record, back in 1980. Leonard has a way to capture everything that is important in all of humanity.
Why does this song always make me cry?
Because it's so beautiful ❤️
Undoubtedly one of his very best! Highly underrated song!
Who could have said it; The best mariachi tune I've ever heard comes from a Canadian. ¡Bravo señor Leonard! le recordamos desde México.
Get real.
Lyrical Genius . Love All Of Leonard Cohen . Love You Leonard , We All Do . XXX .
The version of Emmylou Harris is an absolute gem ! The title is "Ballad of a Runaway Horse", and she make me crying, submerged by emotional waves..
Had the pleasure of seeing Leonard at the o2 arena in Liverpool a few years ago ,absolutely fantastic evening ,what a show this man put on Rip
I met him in southports floral hall back early 70s, such a humble man he thanked me for being there.
Yeah! I was there too!!! Fantastic evening!!! Also saw him in Birmingham. A true legend.
13,12: Questa canzone mi fa commuovere ogni volta che l' ascolto. È dovuto alla magia che Cohen sparge tutt' attorno.
Pure beauty! As this unmatched man was too ♥️
Beautiful song
Thank you Shining Girls! God, I love Cohen, so pleased I got to see him live.
Beauty in so many forms 💕. And magic. 🦋🧚♀️🍀⚘
Nie można nie kochać piosenek Cohena...
Prawda... :'-)
Yesss ❤❤❤🇨🇭
love this! Made my day.
2:34 The world is sweet, the world is wide....
I do regret that I was never able to travel. I heard Mr. Cohen say in an interview that his only luxury was to be able to buy a plane ticket to anywhere in the world at a moment's notice.
Shining Girls brought me here. Great song and great series.
Sublissimme chanson d'amour !! 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓🥰🥰😍🇫🇷
Say a prayer for the cowboy

And there's nothing to follow
There's nowhere to go
She's gone like the summer
Gone like the snow
And the crickets are breaking

I recently reconnected by way of email with a long ago perfect lover.
We had a steamy love affair and I loved him passionately.
I often think about him.
I sent him the "Ballad of the absent mare".
The song perfectly captures how I feel about him.
We cannot regain the years that were lost and there is no point in attempting to do so but the memories are sweet.
Leonard Cohen based his song 'Ballad of the Absent Mare', which appeared in his album Recent Songs published in 1979, on the Ten Bulls stories. In the liner notes to the album, Cohen thanks his Zen Master Roshi for inspiring one of the songs: "I owe my thanks to Joshu Sasaki upon whose exposition of an early Chinese text I based 'Ballad of the Absent Mare.'" Wikipedia
Intemporelle ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🫶🫶🇲🇫
"the bridges break up in the panic of loss"
What else can you say other than he "nailed it"!
so moving song i love it thanks ♥♥♥
Hermosa canción...
Great song! Thanks!
amazing song
so beautiful
Stimmt!!🇨🇭
This is Leonard Cohen's version of a country and Western song.
I just know it's a beautiful ballad. 💕
Leonard was once a part of a Country Western band. They were called the Buckskin Boys.
What song?
@@johnnysalter7072 this one.
He loved Hank Williams, as referenced in Tower of Song.
i love hearing his songs in shows and apple tv uses them alot
Couragious man, Ι believe
Is there anyone else I can listen to that come anywhere near this gentle, genuis, soulwhisperer⁉
Yesss. I totally agree. ❤
I can't believe she's gone, Mi tierra.😢
I love this so much!
One of hes masterpieces could be the sound of freedom them trumpet yeha
And the bridges break up
In the panic of loss.
The world is sweet and the world is wide
She's there where the light and the darkness divide
The steam's coming off her, she's huge and she's shy
And she steps on the moon when she paws at the sky
They don't write love songs like that any more.
Love this❤️❤️
“Though I don't believe, I come to you now, and I lift my doubt to your mercy.”

Shining Girls bought me here. Love Cohen but not heard this
So am I

"I just read a paperback about cowboys."
This song is inspired by a old chinese song or poem. Yahouuuuuuu !...
Can you link me to it?
Dear Jo. On the sleeve of the LP Recent Songs, after the lyrics, Leonard Cohen wrote : "I owe my thanks to Joshu Sasaki, upon whose exposition of an early Chinese text I based Ballad of the Absent Mare;" I hope I gave you the rigth answer.
@@jojones4685 It's called the 10 Bulls of Zen-- paintings and a poem.
@@pierre-bernardelsig9998 It's the 10 Bulls of Zen, paintings and poetry. Emmy Lou Harris also does a version called The Cowgirl's Prayer.
@@cheboyganoperahouse6380 Cohen wrote her a letter thanking her for doing it.
It's like Roy Rogers and Kabbalah had a baby.
Una storia sbagliata :'(
Infatti questa canzone è l'ennesimo plagio di de' andrè.
Stimmt!❤🇨🇭
