Leonard Cohen - A Thousand Kisses Deep

A Thousand Kisses Deep lyrics

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 . . .

Click "like" if, like me, you can listen to that song over and over, without growing tired of it or even realizing you've been listening to it, like an endless loop, 10-15 times in a row, perhaps while doing something else at the computer! :O

[ThePloxaja]

This is most amazing song i ever heard !

"Confined to sex, we pressed against

The limits of the sea:

I saw there were no oceans left

For scavengers like me.

I blessed our remnant fleet --

And then consented to be wrecked,

A Thousand Kisses Deep."

Unbelievable!!

[MrMikenmeus]

There was never a poet such as he,

Nor will there ever be.

Anyone can say and feel

anyone can speak.

It's a deeper pain that holds it's grip and makes these things complete.

[eyedabbler]

totally one of the best songs ever.

[jvnvch]
