The Smokey Life Lyrics by Leonard Cohen

The Smokey Life Lyrics

    I've never seen your eyes so wide
    I've never seen your appetite quite this occupied
    Elsewhere is your feast of love
    I know ... where long ago we agreed to keep it light
    So lets be married one more night

    It's light, light enough
    To let it go
    It's light enough to let it go

    Remember when the scenery started fading
    I held you til you learned to walk on air
    So don't look down the ground is gone,
    There's no one waiting anyway
    The smoky life is practiced
    Everywhere

    So set your restless heart at ease
    Take a lesson from these autumn leaves
    They waste no time waiting for the snow
    Don't argue now you'll be late
    There is nothing to investigate
    It's light enough, light enough

    To let it go
    Light enough to let it go

    Remember when the scenery started fading
    I held you til you learned to walk on air
    So don't look down the ground is gone,
    There's no one waiting anyway
    The smoky life is practiced everywhere

    Come on back if the moment lends
    You can look up all my very closest friends

    Light, light enough
    To let it go
    It's light enough to let it go
