Send my regards to..
The man tied to his chair
His fingers lost feeling
His eyes scan the air
And tell him I love him
But I've left him behind
Now I'm no longer there
And his problems not mine
And it's true I still crave him
I crave him too much
He's still in my bloodstream
But I'll soon give him up
And send my sincere lust
To the girls with blue hair
I hope they remember me
But then I no longer care
And All of my troubles
All of my fears
I send them to you now
Where they just disappear
So come lay beside me
Show your true face
This girl is a woman now
Save the man from disgrace
Now the futures unfolding
And the past it's a lie
So send our regards to
the man we left behind
I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm,
your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm,
yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new,
in city and in forest they smiled like me and you,
but now it's come to distances and both of us must try,
your eyes are soft with sorrow,
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.
I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time,
walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme
you know my love goes with you as your love stays with me,
it's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea,
but let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie,
your eyes are soft with sorrow,
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.

silent groaning on the floor
slight clicking out the light
gentle squeaking of the door
i am off in the night
away away nothing's left to say
i am far away
kicking empty cans just around the corner
maybe you look on me as a lonesome mourner
while i am drifting off along distant shores
think i am nothing but this tin
because i don't feel anymore
was it meant for me
when you soared from that pole
can you see what i can't see
a resting place for my soul
away away nothing's left to say
i am far away....
green feather on the ground
he's been watching you
proclamation all around
only passing through
away away nothing's left to say
i am far away
far away from now sorrows and grief
way up in the sky you give me relief
like the way you are floating
conquers gravitation
makes me overcome this leaden stagnation
kicking empty cans just around the corner
maybe you look on me as a lonesome mourner
while i am drifting off along distant shores
think i am nothing but this tin
because i don't feel anymore
When coldness surrounds you
In rooms without echo
And silence will remain
Your faithful shadow
And your eyes wander about
Fo warming support
Come and take my hand
I will understand
I'm your ark, I'm your barque
Floating in slow motion
On a shaded green river
Into a timeless ocean
Dream world, dream time
It is yours it is mine
Exchange off-line
Generators we'll shine
We will shine
And your heart knows too well
What is right and what is wrong
When ideals are returned
With laughter and scorn
When flattering bills on hooks
Take you to isolation
Come on take my hand
I know a better land
I'm your ark, I'm your barque...
Floating in slow motion
On a shaded green river
Into a timeless ocean
Dream world dream time...
It is yours it is mine
Exchange off-line
Generators we'll shine
We will shine
And you can't rely upon
The tenderness of old
Like a too light anchor
Searching for a hold
And you scream with all your soul
It is far too cold in here
Reach out for my hand
I do understand
I'm your ark, I'm your barque...
Floating in slow motion
On a shaded green river
Into a timeless ocean
Dream world dream time...
It is yours it is mine
Exchange off-line
Generators we'll shine
We will shine
My steps, within
Three feet, elsewhere
They say, don't dare
Don't leave that square
My will, their will
Can move, stand still
My part, no heart
I must fulfil
Like a rising monster
All veiled in grey
See the walls of dawn
They warn you of the day
Come back my dream
Into my arms into my arms
Come back my dream
Into my arms into my arms
Their will, my will
Just act, don't feel
Their kind, my kind
Brought me to heel
Accused of something
Nothing, all alone
I had to bang the nails
Into my head, the guilty one
Leonard Cohen - Thousand Kisses Deep
for Sandy 1945-1998
You came to me this morning
And you handled me like meat
You'd have to be man to know
How good that feels how sweet
My mirror twin my next of kin
I'd know you in my sleep
And who but you would take me in
A thousand kisses deep
I loved you when you opened
Like a lilly to that heat
I'm just another snowman
Standing in the rain and sleet
Who loved you with hisfrozen love
His second-hand physique
With all he is and all he was
A thousand kisses deep
I know you had to lie to me
I know you had to cheat
To pose all hot and high behind
The veils of sheer deceit
Our perfect porn aristocrat
so elegent and cheap
I'm old but I'm still into that
A thousand kisses deep
And I'm still working with the wine
Still dancing cheek to cheek
The band is playing Auld Lang Syne
The heart will not retreat
I ran with Diz and Dante
I never had their sweep
But once or twice they let me play
A thousand kisses deep
The autumn slipped across your skin
Got something in my eye
A light that doesn't need to live
And doesn't need to die
A riddle in the book of love
Obscure and obsolete
Till witnessed here in time and blood
A thousand kisses deep
I'm good at love I'm good at hate
It's in between I freeze
Been working out but it's too late
It's been too late for years
But you look fine you really do
The pride of Boogie Street
Somebody must have died for you
A thousand kisses deep
I loved you when you opened
Like a lily to the heat
I'm just another snowman
Standing in the rain and sleet
But you don't need to hear me now
And every word I speak
It counts against me anyhow
A thousand kisses deep
The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat.
You win a while, and then it’s done –
Your little winning streak.
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat,
You live your life as if it’s real,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
I’m back on Boogie Street.
You lose your grip, and then you slip
Into the Masterpiece.
And maybe I had miles to drive,
And promises to keep:
You ditch it all to stay alive,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
Confined to sex, we pressed against
The limits of the sea
I saw there were no oceans left
For scavengers like me
I made it to the forward deck.
I blessed our remnant fleet –
And then consented to be wrecked,
A Thousand Kisses Deep
I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
I’m back on Boogie Street
I guess they won’t exchange the gifts
That you were meant to keep
And quiet is the thought of you,
The file on you complete,
Except what we forgot to do,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
Viscious words and false belief
Chains around my wrists
A sad sensation
The craving for life is gone
Intoxicate me in the trot of life
A yelling laugh decays my dream
A laugh to fear my deed
A false affection, a false creation
A false affection, a false creation
A false affection, a false creation
Suspicious eyes enslaved within
Imprisoned - shame and guilt
But still a child
Confessing all my sins
Elaborated, but still out of reach
My hands still shiver
My eyes don't move
A deed you can't neglect
A false affection, a false creation
A false affection, a false creation
A false affection, a false creation
