Leonard Cohen - In My Secret Life Lyrics

In my secret life
In my secret life
In my secret life
In my secret life

I saw you this mornin'
You were movin' 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 makin' 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 mornin'
Marchin' through the night
Movin 'cross the borders of my secret life

Looked through the paper
Makes you want to cry
Nobody cares if the people
Live or die
And the dealer wants you thinkin'
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
