Treaty Songtext
von Leonard Cohen

I′ve seen you change the water into wine
I've seen you change it back to water, too
I sit at your table every night
I try but I just don′t get by with you
I wish there was a treaty we could sign
I do not care who takes this bloody hill
I'm angry and I'm tired all the time
I wish there was a treaty,
I wish there was a treaty
Between your love and mine

Ah, they′re dancing in the street it′s jubilee
We sold ourselves for love but now we're free
I′m so sorry for that ghost I made you be
Only one of us was real and that was me


I haven't said a word since you been gone
That any liar couldn′t say as well
I just can't believe the static coming on
You were my ground, my safe and sound
You were my Ariel

Ah, the fields are crying out it′s jubilee
We sold ourselves for love but now we're free
I'm so sorry for that ghost I made you be
Only one of us was real and that was me

I heard the snake was baffled by his sin
He shed his scales to find the snake within
But born again is born without a skin
The poison enters into everything

And I wish there was a treaty we could sign
I do not care who takes this bloody hill
I′m angry and I′m tired all the time
I wish there was a treaty,
I wish there was a treaty
Between your love and mine
