Leonard Cohen...



Don't matter if the road is long


Don't matter if it's steep


Don't matter if the moon is gone


And the darkness is complete


Don't matter if we lose our way


It's written that we'll meet


At least, that's what I heard you say


A thousand kisses deep



I loved you when you opened


Like a lily to the heat


You see, I'm just another snowman


Standing in the rain and sleet


Who loved you with his frozen love


His second hand physique


With all he is and all he was


A thousand kisses deep



I know you had to lie to me


I know you had to cheat


You learned it on your father's knee


And at your mother's feet


But did you have to fight your way


Across the burning street


When all our vital interests lay


A thousand kisses deep



I'm turning tricks


I'm getting fixed


I'm back on boogie street


I'd like to quit the business


But I'm in it, so to speak


The thought of you is peaceful


And the file on you complete


Except what I forgot to do


A thousand kisses deep



Don't matter if you're rich and strong


Don't matter if you're weak


Don't matter if you write a song


The nightingales repeat


Don't matter if it's nine to five


Or timeless and unique


You ditch your life to stay alive


A thousand kisses deep



The ponies run


The girls are young


The odds are there to beat


You win a while, and then it's done


Your little winning streak


And summon now to deal with your invincible defeat


You live your life as if it's real


A thousand kisses deep



I hear their voices in the wine


That sometimes did me seek


The band is playing Auld Lang Syne


But the heart will not retreat


There's no forsaking what you love


No existential leap


As witnessed here in time and blood


A thousand kisses deep
