My Secret Life

My Secret Life- Leonard Cohen.

I saw you this morning
You were moving so fast
Can't seem to loosen my grip
On the past.

And I miss you so much.
There's no one in sight.
And we're still making love
In my secret life.

I smile when I'm angry.
I cheat and I lie.
I do what I have to do
To get by.
But I know what is wrong,
And I know what is right.
And I'd die for the truth
In my secret life.

Hold on, hold on my brother.
My sister, hold on tight.
I finally got my orders.
I'll be marching through the night,
Moving 'cross the borders
Of my secret life.

Looked through the paper.
Makes you want to cry
Nobody cares if the people
Live or die
And the dealer wants you thinking
That it's either black or white
Thank God it's not that simple
In my secret life.

I bite my lip.
I buy what I'm told;
From the latest hit,
to the wisdom of old
But I'm always alone
And my heart is like ice.
And it's crowded and cold
In my secret life.
