LEONARD COHEN lyrics : "The Law"

How many times did you call me
And I knew it was late
I left everybody

But I never went straight
I don't claim to be guilty
But I do understand

There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand
Now my heart's like a blister

From doing what I do
If the moon has a sister
It's got to be you

I'm going to miss you forever
Tho' it's not what I planned
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand

There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand

Now the deal has been dirty

Since dirty began
I'm not asking for mercy
Not from the man

You just don't ask for mercy
While you're still on the stand
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand

There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand

I don't claim to be guilty

Guilty's too grand
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand


That's all I can say, baby
That's all I can say

It wasn't for nothing
That they put me away
I fell with my angel

Down the chain of command
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand

There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand
