Leonard Cohen

Maybe there's a God above,

And all I ever learned from love

Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you.

And it's not a cry you can hear at night,

It's not somebody who's seen the light.

It's a cold and it's a broken «Hallelujah».

They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom

For trying to change the system from within.

You win a while, and then it's done -

Your little winning streak.

And summoned now to deal

With your invincible defeat,

You live your life as if it's real,

A Thousand Kisses Deep.

I saw there were no oceans left

For scavengers like me.

I made it to the forward deck.

I blessed our remnant fleet -

And then consented to be wrecked,

A Thousand Kisses Deep.

And sometimes when the night is slow,

The wretched and the meek,

We gather up our hearts and go,

A Thousand Kisses Deep.
