In My Secret Life Lyrics - The Essential Leonard Cohen - Leonard Cohen

In my secret life 

In my secret life 

In my secret life 

In my secret life 

I saw you this morning 

You were moving so fast 

Can't seem to loosen my grip 

On the past 

And I miss you so much 

There's no one in sight 

And we're still making love 

In my secret life 

In my secret life 

I smile when I'm angry 

I cheat and I lie 

I do what I have to do 

To get by 

But I know what is wrong 

And I know what is right 

And I'd die for the truth 

In my secret life 

In my secret life 

Hold on, hold on, my brother 

My sister, hold on tight 

I finally got my orders 

I'll be marching through the morning 

Marching through the night 

Moving cross the borders 

Of my secret life 

Looked through the paper 

Makes you wanna cry 

Nobody cares if the people 

Live or die 

And the dealer wants you thinking 

That it's either black or white 

Thank God it's not that simple 

In my secret life 

I bite my lip 

I buy what I'm told 

From the latest hit 

To the wisdom of old 

But I'm always alone 

And my heart is like ice 

And it's crowded and cold 

In my secret life 

In my secret life 

In my secret life 

In my secret life 

In my secret life 

In my secret life 

In my secret life 

In my secret life
