Leonard Cohen - A Thousand kisses deep (Spoken poem) Dont matter if the road is long Dont matter if its steep Dont matter if the moon is gone And the darkness is complete Dont matter if we lose our way Its written that well meet At least, thats what I heard you say A thousand kisses deep I loved you when you opened Like a lily to the heat You see, Im 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 A thousand kisses deep I know you had to lie to me I know you had to cheat You learned it on your fathers knee And at your mothers feet But did you have to fight your way Across the burning street When all our vital interests lay A thousand kisses deep Im turning tricks Im getting fixed Im back on boogie street Id like to quit the business But Im in it, so to speak The thought of you is peaceful And the file on you complete Except what I forgot to do A thousand kisses deep Dont matter if youre rich and strong Dont matter if youre weak Dont matter if you write a song The nightingales repeat Dont matter if its nine to five Or timeless and unique You ditch your life to stay alive A thousand kisses deep The ponies run The girls are young The odds are there to beat You win a while, and then its done Your little winning streak And summon now to deal with your invincible defeat You live your life as if its real A thousand kisses deep 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 Theres no forsaking what you love No existential leap As witnessed here in time and blood A thousand kisses deep
