Help me make a LC maternity T shirt!
Help me make a LC maternity T shirt!
Hello,
I'm going to one of the Leonard Cohen concerts next month, when I will be 6 months pregnant (yay, baby will be able to hear too!). I want to get a maternity T shirt printed with a lyric from Leonard Cohen that is suitable for a maternity t-shirt ie baby related or something. HOWEVER I'm totally stuck thinking of one. Anyone got any ideas???

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born - Dance me to the end of love
just some Joseph looking for a manger - Stranger Song
you who are kings for the sake of your children's story- The Old Revolution
Myself I long for love and light - Joan of Arc
may the spirit of this song,
be a shield for you
against the enemy.- Lover,Lover,Lover
Through windows in the dark
The children come, the children go
Like arrows with no targets
Like shackles made of snow - True Love Leaves No Traces
"Welcome, welcome" cries a voice
"Let all my guests come in." - The Guests
Gentle this soul - The Window
"Whither thou goest
I will go" - Ballad of the Absent Mare
I'll be with you
My shawl wrapped around you
My hand on your head when you go - The Night Comes On
Your father's gone a-hunting
He's deep in the forest so wild
And he cannot take his wife with him
He cannot take his child - Hunter's Lullaby
And draw us near
And bind us tight
All your children here
In their rags of light - If It Be Your Will
I'm aching for you baby
I can't pretend I'm not
I need to see you naked
In your body and your thought
I've got you like a habit
And I'll never get enough
There ain't no cure,
There ain't no cure,
There ain't no cure for love - Ain't No Cure For Love
Baby, I've been waiting,
I've been waiting night and day...
for the miracle to come. - Waiting for the Miracle
That I am not the one who loves –
It’s love that chooses me.
When hatred with his package comes,
You forbid delivery. -You have loved enough
So come, my friends, be not afraid.
We are so lightly here.
It is in love that we are made;
In love we disappear. - Boogie Street

How about:
'Baby I've been waiting, I've been waiting night and day...'
... but not the one from Secretchord:
'Baby I've been waiting, I've been waiting night and day...'
... but not the one from Secretchord:
...that will describe ALL of us at the concert – not just the babyAll your children here

Dang! You beat me to it Davido!
Anyway, my vote is still 'Baby I've been waiting...'

Re: Help me make a LC maternity T shirt!
Wow guys, what a response, thanks so much for taking the time to help me with this.
I'm tempted to go with a slight variant on that and have: 'Waiting for the miracle to come'. What do you think?
Ie baby is a miracle. Too corny?

Re: Help me make a LC maternity T shirt!
Davido's suggestion of "Dance me to the children who are waiting to be born" I think is the best.

Hi again,

I just re-read your post and noticed you said "knitted!" That's where being a mommy will get you (I scan over sentences and miss things a lot!).

Re: Help me make a LC maternity T shirt!
Waiting for the Miracle is a great choice, but for a concert, Dance Me To the Children Who Are Asking to Be Born is my favorite. Best case scenario - to have a whole wardrobe with all the aforementioned lines !
