Leonard Cohen - The Smokey Life текст песни

Ive never seen your eyes so wide

Ive never seen your appetite quite this occupied

Elsewhere is your feast of love

I know ... where long ago we agreed to keep it light

So lets be married one more night

Its light, light enough

To let it go

Its light enough to let it go

Remember when the scenery started fading

I held you til you learned to walk on air

So dont look down the ground is gone,

Theres no one waiting anyway

The smoky life is practiced

Everywhere

So set your restless heart at ease

Take a lesson from these autumn leaves

They waste no time waiting for the snow

Dont argue now youll be late

There is nothing to investigate

Its light enough, light enough

To let it go

Light enough to let it go

Remember when the scenery started fading

I held you til you learned to walk on air

So dont look down the ground is gone,

Theres no one waiting anyway

The smoky life is practiced everywhere

Come on back if the moment lends

You can look up all my very closest friends

Light, light enough

To let it go

Its light enough to let it go
