In My Secret Life

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 --- In My Secret Life - Leonard Cohen and Sharon Robinson
