Recitation

Dacă tot ascult intens albumul "Live in London" al lui Cohen de 2 zile şi dacă tot au fetele păreri diferite despre felul cum cântă/recită Leonard, vă mai plictisesc cu o piesă care chiar aşa se cheamă, Recitation, bazată pe "A thousand kisses deep". Nu este cântec, nu este poezie, este Leonard Cohen...

Later edit: am gasit versurile:

You came to me this morning
and you handeld me like meat
it have to be a man to know
how good that feels how sweet
my mirror twin my next of kin
i know you in my sleep
and who but you would take me in
a thousand kisses deep

i loved you when you opend
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
a thousand kisses deep

i know you had to lie to me
i know you had to cheat
to pose all hot and high
behind the vails of cheer deceit
our perfect porn aristocrate
so ellegant and cheap
i'm old but i'm still into that
a thousand kisses deep

i'm good at love
i'm good at hate
it's inbetween i freeze
than work it out-but it's to late
it's been to late for years
but you look good you really do
they'll love you on the street
a snowflake must have died for you
a thousand kisses deep

'was looking at the crucifix
got somthing in my eye - a light
that dosen't need to live
and dosen't need to die
a riddle in a book of love
obscure and obsolete
as witnessed here in time and blood
a thousand kisses deep

and i'm,
i'm still working with the wine
still dancing cheek to cheek
the band is playing "auld lang syne"
but the heart will not retreat
i ran with Diz i sang with Ray
i never had their sweep
but once or twice they let me play
a thousand kisses deep

i loved you when you opend...

but you don't need to hear me now
and every word i speak
it counts against me anyhow
a thousand kisses deep
