Leonard Cohen "On the Level" Songtext

Übersetzung nach:essr

On the Level

I knew that it was wrong,I didn't have a doubt.I was dying to get back home,and you were starting out.I said I'd best be moving on,You said "we have all day".

You smiled at me like I was young,it took my breath away.Your crazy fragrance all around,your secrets all in view.My lost, my lost was saying "found",My don't was saying "do".

Let's keep it on the level.When I walked away from you,I turned my back on the devil,turned my back on the angel, too.They oughta give my heart a medalfor letting go of you,when I turned my back on the devilturned my back on the angel, too.

Now I'm living in this templewhere they tell you what to do,I'm old and I've had to settleon a different point of view.I was fighting with temptation,but I didn't want to win.A man like me don't like to seetemptation caving in.

Your crazy fragrance all around,your secrets in my view.My lost, my lost was saying "found",my don't was saying "do".

Let's keep it on the level.When I walked away from youI turned my back on the devil,turned my back on the angel, tooThey oughta give my heart a medalfor letting go of you.When I turned my back on the devilturned my back on the angel, too.

They oughta give my heart a medalfor letting go of you.When I turned my back on the devilturned my back on the angel, too.
