Leonard Cohen "Different sides" lyrics

Translation to:fifrhr

Different sides

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 two

I to my side call the meek and the mildYou to your side call the WordBy virtue of suffering I claim to have wonYou claim to have never been heard

Both of us say there are laws to obeyBbut frankly I don’t like your toneYou want to change the way I make loveI want to leave it alone

The pull of the moon, the thrust of the sunThus the ocean is crossedThe waters are blessed while a shadowy guestKindles a light for the lost

Both of us say there are laws to obeyBut frankly I don’t like your toneYou want to change the way I make loveI want to leave it alone

Down 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 will

You want to live where the suffering isI want to get out of townCome on, baby, give me a kissStop writing everything down

Both of us say there are laws to obeyBut frankly I don’t like your toneYou want to change the way I make loveI want to leave it alone

Both of us say there are laws to obeyBut frankly I don’t like your toneYou want to change the way I make loveI want to leave it alone…
