Leonard Cohen — A Thousand Kisses Deep

I saw there were no oceans left For scavengers like me. I made it to the forward deck. I blessed our remnant fleet - And then consented to be wrecked, A Thousand Kisses Deep.

And sometimes when the night is slow, The wretched and the meek, We gather up our hearts and go, A Thousand Kisses Deep.

You win a while, and then it's done - Your little winning streak. And summoned now to deal With your invincible defeat, You live your life as if it's real, A Thousand Kisses Deep.
