LEONARD COHEN lyrics : "Different Sides"

We find ourselves on different sides
Of a line nobody drew
Though it all may be one in the higher eye

Down here where we live it is two

I to my side call the meek and the mild

You to your side call the Word
By virtue of suffering I claim to have won
You claim to have never been heard


Both of us say there are laws to obey
Yeah, but frankly I don't like your tone

You want to change the way I make love
(But) I want to leave it alone


The pull of the moon, the thrust of the sun
Thus the ocean is crossed
The waters are blessed while a shadowy guest

Kindles a light for the lost

Both of us say there are laws to obey

But frankly I don't like your tone
You want to change the way I make love
(But) I want to leave it alone


Down in the valley the famine goes on
The famine up on the hill

I say that you shouldn't, you couldn't, you can't
You say that you must and you will


You want to live where the suffering is
I want to get out of town
Come on, baby, give me a kiss

Stop writing everything down

Both of us say there are laws to obey

Yeah, but frankly I don't like your tone
You want to change the way I make love
(But) I want to leave it alone


Both of us say there are laws to obey
Yeah, but frankly I don't like your tone

You want to change the way I make love
(But) I want to leave it alone...
