Thousand Kisses Deep

The autumn slipped across your skin
Got something in my eye
A light that doesn't need to live
And doesn't need to die
A riddle in the book of love
Obscure and obsolete
Till witnessed here in time and blood
A thousand kisses deep

And fragrant is the thought of you,
The file on you complete
Except what we forgot to do
A thousand kisses deep


Leonard Cohen, from "Book of Longing'.
