The Smokey Life Lyrics - Recent Songs - Leonard Cohen

I've never seen your eyes so wide 

I've never seen your appetite quite this occupied 

Elsewhere is your feast of love 

I know where long ago we agreed to keep it light 

So lets be married one more night 

It's light, light enough 

To let it go 

It's light enough to let it go 

Remember when the scenery started fading 

I held you til you learned to walk on air 

So don't look down the ground is gone, 

there's no one waiting anyway 

The Smoky Life is practiced 

Everywhere 

So set your restless heart at ease 

Take a lesson from these Autumn leaves 

They waste no time waiting for the snow 

Don't argue now you'll be late 

There is nothing to investigate 

It's light enough, light enough 

To let it go 

Light enough to let it go 

Remember when the scenery started fading 

I held you til you learned to walk on air 

So don't look down the ground is gone, 

there's no one waiting anyway 

The Smoky Life is practiced everywhere 

Come on back if the moment lends 

You can look up all my very closest friends 

Light, light enough 

To let it go 

It's light enough to let it go
