A Thousand Kisses Deep
Composer(s): Sharon Terea Robinson - Leonard Cohen
First release by: Leonard Cohen - 2001
Covered by multiple other artists
The ponies run, the girls are young
The odds are there to beat
You win a while and then its done
Your little winning streak
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat
You live your life as if its real
A Thousand Kisses Deep
Im turning tricks, Im getting fixed
Im 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
Im turning tricks, Im getting fixed
Im back on Boogie Street
I guess they wont 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
