Treaty Lyrics - Leonard Cohen

I've seen you change the water into wine 

I've seen you change it back to water too 

I sit at your table every night 

I try but I just don't get high with you 

I wish there was a treaty we could sign 

I do not care who takes this bloody hill 

I'm angry and I'm tired all the time 

I wish there was a treaty 

I wish there was a treaty 

Between your love and mine 

They're dancing in the street, it's Jubilee 

We sold ourselves for love but now we're free 

I'm sorry for the ghost I made you be 

Only one of us was real and that was me 

I haven't said a word since you've been gone 

That any liar couldn't say as well 

I just can't believe the static coming on 

You were my ground, my safe and sound 

You were my aerial 

The fields are crying out, it's Jubilee 

We sold ourselves for love but now we're free 

I'm sorry for the ghost I made you be 

Only one of us was real and that was me 

I heard the snake was baffled by his sin 

He shed his scales to find the snake within 

But born again is born without a skin 

The poison enters into everything 

And I wish there was a treaty we could sign 

I do not care who takes this bloody hill 

I'm angry and I'm tired all the time 

I wish there was a treaty 

I wish there was a treaty 

Between your love and mine
