The Law

The Law - Leonard Cohen (萊昂納德·科恩)

How many times did you call me

And I knew it was late

I left everybody

But I never went straight

I don't claim to be guilty

But I do understand

There's a law there's an arm

There's a hand

There's a law there's an arm

There's a hand

Now my hearts like a blister

From doing what I do

If the moon has a sister

It's got to be you

I'm going to miss you forever

Tho it's not what I planned

There's a law there's an arm

There's a hand

There's a law there's an arm

There's a hand

Now the deal has been dirty

Since dirty began

I'm not asking for mercy

Not from the man

You just don't ask for mercy

While you're still on the stand

There's a law there's an arm

There's a hand

There's a law there's an arm

There's a hand

I don't claim to be guilty

Guiltys too grand

There's a law there's an arm

There's a hand

There's a law there's an arm

There's a hand

That's all I can say baby

That's all I can say

It wasn't for nothing

That they put me away

I fell with my angel

Down the chain of command

There's a law there's an arm

There's a hand

There's a law there's an arm

There's a hand

There's a law there's an arm

There's a hand
