A Thousand kisses deep

Please first click here and listen to this, then click on the lyric below and enjoy a wonderful song :-)


"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’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 . . .

Nazy joon. I love Leonard Cohen too, especially the song "Dance with me to the end of love". I am happy you enjoyed this one.

I didn't know you liked Leonard Cohen! He is very different. Isn't he? My sister likes him a lot too.

I'm not sure if submitting the same comment mre than once! Sorry if I am. Blogger sometimes acts strangely when comment moderation is actiavted. Or is it when i mess up the WORD VERIFICATION!
