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?

What is the Meaning of Moving On?

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.
