Misty Blue (Outtake From Recent Songs)

Leonard Cohen · Other Songs - Leonard Cohen

Oh but it's been such a long, long time.

Thought I'd got you off my mind.

Looks like I can't, just the thought of you

turns my whole world a misty blue.

Just the mention of your name

fans the flicker to a flame.

I can't forget the things we used to do.

My whole world turns misty blue.

You know I should forget you

I really should,

and heaven knows that I tried.

But when I told you,

when I said that we were through



deep in my heart I lied

Baby, oh what a long, long time.

Thought I'd get you off my mind.

Oh but I can't, just the thought of you

turns my world misty blue

And the very mention of your name

fans the flicker to a flame.

I think of things we used to do,

my whole world turns misty blue.
