Ah, the timeless dance of love and loss, masterfully spun by the inimitable Leonard Cohen. "Moving On" is a poignant lament for a departed lover, with Cohen's characteristic blend of wry humor and raw emotion. He paints a vivid picture of his love - her face, her hair, even her T-shirts. Yet he acknowledges that this love was perhaps more hormonal than heartfelt. The recurring question - "Who's moving on? Who's kidding who?" - emphasizes the difficulty of letting go, even when one recognizes the irrationality of their attachment. It’s an ode to all those who have loved not wisely but too well; it’s Cohen at his most human and relatable.
Moving On
Lyrics
I loved your face, I loved your hair
Your T-shirts and your evening wear
As for the world, the job, the war
I ditched them all to love you more
And now you're gone, now you're gone
As if there ever was a you
Who broke the heart and made it new
Who's moving on?
Who's kidding who?
I loved your moods, I loved the way
They threatened every single day
Your beauty ruled me, though I knew
'Twas more hormonal than the view
Now you're gone, now you're gone
As if there ever was a you
Queen of lilac, Queen of blue
Who's moving on?
Who's kidding who?
I loved your face, I loved your hair
Your T-shirts and your evening wear
As for the world, the job, the war
I ditched them all to love you more
And now you're gone, now you're gone
As if there ever was a you
Who held me dying, pulled me through
Who's moving on
who's kidding who
Who's moving on?
Who's kidding who?
