Текст песни Cohen, Leonard - 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
           -5
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 loose 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
          -5
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
