It Seemed the Better Way

It Seemed the Better Way - Leonard Cohen (萊昂納德·科恩)

Written by：Leonard Cohen

Seemed the better way

When first I heard him speak

Now it's much to 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 to 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
