Leonard Cohen/Леонард Кохен A thousand kisses deep (Тысяча поцелуев)

Текст песни "Leonard Cohen/Леонард Кохен — A thousand kisses deep (Тысяча поцелуев)"

The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat.
You win a while,
And then it's done –
Your little winning streak.
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat,
You live your life
As if it's real,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed,
I'm back on Boogie Street.
You lose your grip,
And then you slip
Into the Masterpiece.
And maybe
I had miles to drive,
And promises to keep:
You ditch it all
To stay alive,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

And sometimes, when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

Confined to sex, we pressed against
The limits of the sea:
I saw there were no oceans left
For scavengers like me.
I made it to the forward deck,
I blessed our remnant fleet –
And then consented to be wrecked,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed,
I'm back on Boogie Street.
I guess they won't exchange the gifts
That you were meant to keep.
And quiet is the thought of you,
The file on you complete,
Except what we forgot to do,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat...
