A Thousand Kisses Deep Lyrics

Leonard Cohen

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 summoned now to deal With your invincible defeat You live your life as if it's real A thousand kisses deep
I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed I'm back on boogie street You lose your grip, and then you slip Into the masterpiece
And maybe I had miles to drive And promises to keep You ditch it all to stay alive 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
Confined to sex, we pressed against The limits of the sea 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
I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed I'm back on boogie street I guess they won't exchange the gifts That you were meant to keep
And quiet is the thought of you The file on you complete Except what we forgot to do 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
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 summoned now to deal With your invincible defeat You live your life as if it's real A thousand kisses deep

I saw both Sydney concerts and it felt like I had waited my whole life for those moments. I have been a follower of LC since Songs of LC and all the things that have been memorable in my life have tied in with his music of love, loss and acceptance of what cant be changed Sandra
