It Seemed The Better Way
LEONARD COHEN · You Want It Darker 2016 · Track 07 of 09
Music: Patrick Leonard · Lyrics: Leonard Cohen
It seemed the better way When first I heard him speak Now it's much too late To turn the other cheek
Sounded like the truth Seemed the better way Sounded like the truth But it's not the truth today
I wonder what it was I wonder what it meant First he touched on love Then he touched on death
Sounded like the truth Seemed the better way Sounded like the truth But it's not the truth today
I better hold my tongue I better take my place Lift this glass of blood Try to say the grace
Seemed the better way When first I heard him speak But now it's much too late To turn the other cheek
Sounded like the truth Seemed the better way Sounded like the truth But it's not the truth today
I better hold my tongue I better take my place Lift this glass of blood Try to say the grace
