Words sung to the tune of "A Thousand Kisses Deep" by Leonard Cohen.

---

The day is done you look upon
the possibilities
uncovering the layers of
our hidden mysteries
The image that I hold inside
my mind I cannot sleep
The thought of you the thought of me
A thousand kisses deep

Now here we are a quilt of stars
untold discoveries
we sparkle bright into the night
each other’s centrepiece
No telling when the spell will end
or if time itself will please
consider you consider me
A thousand kisses deep

And sometimes when you reach the end
of what you have to speak
The music plays the words portray
A thousand kisses deep

Caught in the rain the pebbles wet
the water soaks our skin
Regardless of the consequence
the risks ignored within
The music of our beating hearts
No rhythm can compete
In tune to you and you to me
A thousand kisses deep

Of all the words that could be said
You said them so complete
The rocks the stones the sturdy walls
all toppled in a heap
With all of my defences bare
The ashes of defeat
The phoenix flies into the sky
A thousand kisses deep

And sometimes when I reach the end
of what I have to speak
The music plays the words portray
A thousand kisses deep

The day is done I look upon
the possibilities
uncovering the layers of
our hidden mysteries
The image that I hold inside
my mind I cannot sleep
The thought of you the thought of me
A thousand kisses deep
