A Thousand Kisses Deep - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)

The ponies run

The girls are young

The odds are there to beat

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

I'm turning tricks

I'm getting fixed

I'm back on Boogie Street

You lose your grip

And then you slip

Into the Masterpiece

And maybe I had miles to drive

And promises to keep:

You ditch it all to stay alive

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

Confined to sex

We pressed against

The limits of the sea:

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

I'm turning tricks

I'm getting fixed

I'm back on Boogie Street

I guess they won't exchange the gifts

That you were meant to keep

And quiet is the thought of you

The file on you complete

Except what we forgot to do

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

The ponies run the girls are young

The odds are there to beat

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
