I am listening to Leonard Cohen
And thinking of you
You know it seems like ages
Since we’ve talked things through
Our thoughts were once so in sync
It’s like we simply knew
Everything the other would say
Almost too good to be true
*But it’s glance in the wrong direction
And just a single misstep
And we’re left only with memories
And a hint of regret*
This constant need for closeness
This moving of the spheres
The mysterious pull of gravity
Whenever you are near
For we’re hurtling through time and space
Into the black unknown
And we never know whom we’ll meet
Or where our hearts will roam
*But it’s glance in the wrong direction
And just a single misstep
And we’re left only with memories
And a hint of regret*
So I’ll smile for you once again
And say a little prayer
You led me to a better place
Pulled love out of thin air
Can’t say I had the roadmap
But I was happy for the trip
You taught me to value what I have now
Not the things that I missed
*But it’s glance in the wrong direction
And just a single misstep
And we’re left only with memories
And a hint of regret*
