leonard cohen – different sides lyrics
different sides
we find ourselves on different sides
of a line n-body drew
though it all may be one in the higher eye
down here where we live it is two
i to my side call the meek and the mild
you to your side call the word
by virtue of suffering i claim to have won
you claim to have never been heard
both of us say there are laws to obey
but frankly i don’t like your tone
you want to change the way i make love
i want to leave it alone
the pull of the moon, the thrust of the sun
and thus the ocean is crossed
the waters are blessed while a shadowy guest
kindles a light for the lost
both of us say there are laws to obey
but frankly i don’t like your tone
you want to change the way i make love
i want to leave it alone
down in the valley the famine goes on
the famine up on the hill
i say that you shouldn’t, you couldn’t, you can’t
you say that you must and you will
both of us say there are laws to obey
but frankly i don’t like your tone
you want to change the way i make love
i want to leave it alone
you want to live where the suffering is
i want to get out of town
c’mon baby give me a kiss
stop writing everything down
both of us say there are laws to obey
yeah, but frankly i don’t like your tone
you want to change the way i make love
i want to leave it alone
both of us say there are laws to obey
but frankly i don’t like your tone
you want to change the way i make love
i want to leave it alone
