A Thousand Kisses Deep - Jackson Browne

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 its 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...

Wonderful!

Jackson is unbelievable but it is true that the song by Leonard Cohen is sublime too!

I'm in love all over again. Chillingly beautiful with the darkness of the song in JB's soft, sweet voice.

Jackson Browne and Leonard Cohen are my most favorite Singers and Song Writers, and to find Jackson doing a Leonard song, well, it just couldn't get much better than this. I've been in love with both of them for years. Thank you.

Wow, it doesn't get much better than this, Jackson Browne doing Leonard Cohen, and both tie as my favorite singer and songwriter. I've been in love with both for years...........thank you!
