Leonard Cohen "Seemed the better way" lyrics

Translation to:nl

Seemed the better way

Seemed the better wayWhen first I heard him speakNow it’s much too lateTo turn the other cheek

Sounded like the truthSeemed the better waySounded like the truthBut it’s not the truth today

I wonder what it wasI wonder what it meantAt first he touched on loveThen he touched on death

Sounded like the truthSeemed the better waySounded like the truthBut it’s not the truth today

I better hold my tongueI better take my placeLift this glass of bloodTry to say the grace

Seemed the better wayWhen first I heard him speakNow it’s much too lateTo turn the other cheek

Sounded like the truthSeemed the better waySounded like the truthBut it’s not the truth today

I better hold my tongueI better take my placeLift this glass of bloodTry to say the grace
