Leonard Cohen 's A Thousand Kisses Deep: Recitation

Artist:

Album:
"You came to me this morning
And you handled me like meat.
You´d have to live alone to know
How good that feels, how sweet.
My mirror twin, my next of kin,
I´d know you in my sleep.
And who but you would take me in
A thousand kisses deep?
I loved you when you opened
Like a lily to the heat.
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 veils of sheer deceit
Our perfect porn aristocrat
So elegant 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 in between I freeze
Been working out but it's too late
It's been too late for years
But you look good,
You really do,
They love you on the street.
If you were here I'd kneel for you
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
The autumn moved across yr skin
Got something in my eye
The light that doesn't need to live
And doesn't need to die
A riddle in the book of love
Obscure and obsolete
Till witnessed here in time and blood
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
And I´m still working with the wine,
Still dancing cheek to cheek.
The band is playing "Auld Lang Syne" -
The heart will not retreat.
I ran with Diz, I sang with Ray,
I never had their sweet
But once or twice they let me play
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
I loved you when you opened
Like a lily to the heat.
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.
But you don't need to hear me now
And every word I speak
It counts against me anyhow
A Thousand Kisses Deep."

Cannot wait to see him at Coachella. He is one of my heroes.
