I loved you for a long, long time
I know this love is real    
It don't matter how it all went wrong         
That don't change the way I feel            
And I can't believe that time's                   
Gonna heal this wound I'm speaking of                       
There ain't no cure,                              
There ain't no cure,                                    
There ain't no cure for love                                      

I'm aching for you baby                     
I can't pretend I'm not                           
I need to see you naked                               
In your body and your thought                               
I've got you like a habit                             
And I'll never get enough                         
There ain't no cure,                        
There ain't no cure,                    
There ain't no cure for love                

                      

                               There ain't no cure for love
                           There ain't no cure for love
                     All the rocket ships are climbing through the sky
         The holy books are open wide
                     The doctors working day and night
                               But they'll never ever find that cure for love
           There ain't no drink no drug
                                       (Ah tell them, angels)
There's nothing pure enough to be a cure for love

 

                     I see you in the subway and I see you on the bus
             I see you lying down with me, I see you waking up
                                     I see your hand, I see your hair
                           Your bracelets and your brush
                                             And I call to you, I call to you
                                     But I don't call soft enough
There ain't no cure,
                                     There ain't no cure,
                                                                           There ain't no cure for love

 

           I walked into this empty church I had no place else to go
       When the sweetest voice I ever heard, whispered to my soul
I don't need to be forgiven for loving you so much
                           It's written in the scriptures
                                               It's written there in blood
                 I even heard the angels declare it from above
                                                                         There ain't no cure,
                                 There ain't no cure,
                                                                         There ain't no cure for love

 

There ain't no cure for love
                                                   There ain't no cure for love
                                     All the rocket ships are climbing through the sky
                         The holy books are open wide
             The doctors working day and night
But they'll never ever find that cure,
                                                                     That cure for love

      "Poetry is just the evidence of life.
       If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash."

                                                           Leonard Cohen

                 

                        "Poezija je samo trag zivota.
                         Plamti li tvoj zivot, poezija je samo pepeo plamteceg zara."
