(L. Cohen)

|
Maybe I'm still hurting
|
I can't turn the other cheek
|
But you know that I still love you
|
It's just that I can't speak
|
I looked for you in everyone
|
And they called me on that too
|
I lived alone but I was only
|
Coming back to you
|
|
They're shutting down the factory now
|
Just when all the bills are due
|
And the fields are under lock and key
|
Tho' the rain and the sun come through
|
And springtime starts but then it stops
|
In the name of something new
|
And all the senses rise against this
|
Coming back to you
|
|
And they're handing down my sentence now
|
I know what I must do
|
Another mile of silence while I'm
|
Coming back to you
|
|
There are many in your life
|
Many still to be
|
Since you are a shining light
|
There's many that you'll see
|
So I got a deal with envy
|
When you choose the precious few
|
Who've left their pride on the other side of
|
Coming back to you
|
|
Even in your arms I know
|
I'll never get it right
|
Even when you bend to give me
|
Comfort in the night
|
So I've got to have your word on this
|
Or none of it is true
|
And all I've said was just instead of
|
Coming back to you
|
