Coming Back To You

">author: Leonard Cohen

Maybe I'm still hurting

I can't turn the other cheek

But you know that I still love you

It's just that I can't speak

***

I looked for you in everyone

And they called me on that too

I lived alone but I was only

Coming back to you

***

Ah they're shutting down the factory now

Just when all the bills are due

And the fields they're under lock and key

Tho' the rain and the sun come through

***

And springtime starts but then it stops

In the name of something new

And all the senses rise against this

Coming back to you

***

And they're handing down my sentence now

And I know what I must do

Another mile of silence while I'm

Coming back to you

***

There are many in your life

And many still to be

Since you are a shining light

There's many that you'll see

***

But I have to deal with envy

When you choose the precious few

Who've left their pride on the other side

Of coming back to you

***

Even in your arms I know

I'll never get it right

Even when you bend to give me

Comfort in the night

***

I've got to have your word on this

Or none of it is true

And all I've said was just instead

Of coming back to you
