The Smokey Life

The Smokey Life - Leonard Cohen (萊昂納德·科恩)

I've never seen your eyes so wide

I've never seen your appetite

Quite this occupied

Elsewhere is your feast of love

I know where long ago

We agreed to keep it light

So let's be married one more night

It's light light enough

To let it go

It's light enough to let it go

Remember

When the scenery started fading

I held you til you learned

To walk on air

So don't look down

The ground is gone

There's no one waiting anyway

The smoky life is practiced

Everywhere

So set your restless heart at ease

Take a lesson

From these autumn leaves

They waste no time

Waiting for the snow

Don't argue now

You'll be late

There is nothing to investigate

It's light enough light enough

To let it go

Light enough to let it go

Remember

When the scenery started fading

I held you

Til you learned to walk on air

So don't look down

The ground is gone

There's no one waiting anyway

The smoky life

Is practiced everywhere

Come on back

If the moment lends

You can look up

All my very closest friends

Light light enough

To let it go

It's light light enough to let it go
