Nebulus
(Leonard Cohen), "A Thousand Kisses Deep".
Don't matter if the road is long
, ,
Don't matter if it's steep
, ,
Don't matter if the moon is gone
,
And the darkness is complete
.
Don't matter if we lose our way
,
It's written that we'll meet
.
At least, that's what I heard you say
I loved you when you opened
, ,
Like a lily to the heat
.
You see, I'm just another snowman
? ,
Standing in the rain and sleet
,
Who loved you with his frozen love
,
His second hand physique
…
With all he is and all he was
, –
I know you had to lie to me
, ,
I know you had to cheat
,
You learned it on your father's knee
,
And at your mother's feet
.
But did you have to fight your way
Across the burning street
, ,
When all our vital interests lay
– ,
I'm back on boogie street
«Boogie Street»
I'd like to quit the business
,
But I'm in it, so to speak
. ,
The thought of you is peaceful
,
And the file on you complete
Except what I forgot to do
,
Don't matter if you're rich and strong
,
Don't matter if you're weak
, ,
Don't matter if you write a song
, ,
The nightingales repeat
.
Don't matter if it's nine to five
,
You ditch your life to stay alive
,
The odds are there to beat
.
You win a while, and then it's done
,
Your little winning streak
.
And summon now to deal with your invincible defeat
, ?
You live your life as if it's real
,
I hear their voices in the wine
,
That sometimes did me seek
.
The band is playing Auld Lang Syne
« »,
But the heart will not retreat
.
There's no forsaking what you love
, ,
As witnessed here in time and blood
