Way Down Deep

Leonard Cohen · Other Songs - Leonard Cohen

(Written By Warnes, Cohen, Recorded By Warnes)



way down, way way down

way way down deep

you're got me way down, way way down,

way way down deep

you're got me way down, way down deep

I wander with you in my sleep

I'm way down, way way down,

way way down deep



it came to me this morning

I was walking down the street

was like my soul could taste you

and God, you tasted sweet

finally I can breathe again

finally I can speak

I've got you in the glory place

I've got you way down deep



I've got you way down, way way down,

way way down deep

you're got me way down, way way down,

way way down deep

you're got me way down, way way down,

I wander with you in my sleep

I'm way down, way way down,

way way down deep



it's a funny feeling

but I cannot say I mind

I know that I'm dealing with

a love that's far from blind

I see every single angle

I look before I leap

how else can I put it



when you're got me way down deep



you've got me way down, way way down,

way way down deep

you've got me way down, way way down,

way way down deep

you've got me way down, way down deep

I wander with you in my sleep

I'm way down, way way down,

way way down deep



don't matter what we gave away

was nothing we could keep

don't matter what we gave away

you know that talk is cheap

forgive me if I hate you

you're a liar and a thief

but I've got you in the glory place

I got you way down deep



you've got me way down, way way down ...



don't matter if the road is long

don't matter if it's steep

don't matter if the moon goes out

and darkness is complete

don't matter if we lose our way

I know we;re gonna meet

I've got you in the glory place

I've got you way down deep



you've got me way down, way way down ..
