A Thousand Tears In The Sea
Ode to Leonard Cohen

I fell in love with the beauty
Of golden words whispered to me
I blindly swore fidelity
It was too late for mercy

They stabbed my heart, they wrapped my soul
In a soft and tight embrace
They drew a cross on my forehead
And kisses on my face

On Boogie Street in Babylon
It doesn’t matter where you’re from
Everyone knows the words of wisdom
Everyone sings on the tower of love

The holy dove has been caught again
And it's moving inside me
The only way to set it free:
Come within deep in me

An aborted love story
Due to the seeds of fantasy
A shooting star that disappears
Like a thousand tears... in the sea

You made me think, you made me sink
To the bottom of the sea
The only thing I could see
Was your light shining on me

I walked up your tower of song
I bowed to your mastery
You gave me ten poems of love
To send across the Seven Seas

The winds of change are blowing on me
My heart is now free
Floating on its own journey
Like a bottle in the sea
