Leonard Cohen - Different Sides Lyrics
We find ourselves on different sidesOf a line nobody drewThough it all may be one in the higher eyeDown here where we live it is twoI to my side call the meek and the mildYou to your side call the WordsBy virtue of suffering I claim to have wonYou claim to have never been heardBoth of us say there are laws to obeyYeah, but frankly I don't like your toneYou want to change the way I make love(But) I want to leave it aloneThe pull of the moon, the thrust of the sunThus the ocean is crossedThe waters are blessed while a shadowy guestKindles a light for the lostBoth of us say there are laws to obeyBut frankly I don't like your toneYou want to change the way I make love(But) I want to leave it aloneDown in the valley the famine goes onThe famine up on the hillI say that you shouldn't, you couldn't, you can'tYou say that you must and you willYou want to live where the suffering isI want to get out of townCome on, baby, give me a kissStop writing everything downBoth of us say there are laws to obeyYeah, but frankly I don't like your toneYou want to change the way I make love(But) I want to leave it aloneBoth of us say there are laws to obeyYeah, but frankly I don't like your toneYou want to change the way I make love(But) I want to leave it alone…
