[00:00.74]I can't make the hills
[00:04.91]The system is shot
[00:09.37]I'm living on pills
[00:13.73]For which I thank God
[00:18.18]My animal howls
[00:22.54]My angel's upset
[00:27.21]But I'm not allowed
[00:31.37]A trace of regret
[00:35.49]For someone will use
[00:39.99]The thing I could not be
[00:44.45]My heart will be hers
[00:49.26]Impersonally
[00:53.25]She'll step on the path
[00:57.87]She'll see what I mean
[01:02.24]My will cut in half
[01:06.59]And freedom between
[01:11.25]For this in a second
[01:15.72]Our lives will collide
[01:20.18]The endless suspended
[01:24.25]The door opened wide
[01:28.65]And she will be born
[01:32.96]To someone like you
[01:37.57]What I left undone
[01:41.73]She will certainly do
[01:46.60]I know she is coming
[01:50.60]And I know she will look
[01:55.16]And that is the longing
[01:59.73]And this is the hook
[02:04.14]I can't make the hills
[02:08.25]The system is shot
[02:12.57]I'm living on pills
[02:17.07]For which I thank God
[02:21.58]My page was too white
[02:25.85]My ink was too thinned
[02:30.30]The day wouldn't write
[02:34.54]But the night penciled in
[02:39.11]But I know she's coming
[02:43.34]And I know she will look
[02:48.51]That is the longing
[02:52.87]This is the hook
[02:56.99]I know she is coming
[03:01.00]And I know she will look
[03:06.08]That is the longing
[03:10.22]And this is the hook
[03:14.72]I can't make the hills
[03:19.04]The system is shot
[03:23.40]I'm living on pills
[03:27.50]For which I thank God
[03:32.20]I sailed like a swan
[03:36.36]I sank like a rock
[03:40.80]But time is long gone
[03:45.25]Past my laughing stock
[03:49.56]I can't make the hills
[03:54.04]The system is shot
[03:58.45]I'm living on pills
[04:02.59]For which I thank God

Written by:Leonard Cohen

I can't make the hills
The system is shot
I'm living on pills
For which I thank God
My animal howls
My angel's upset
But I'm not allowed
A trace of regret
For someone will use
The thing I could not be
My heart will be hers
Impersonally
She'll step on the path
She'll see what I mean
My will cut in half
And freedom between
For this in a second
Our lives will collide
The endless suspended
The door opened wide
And she will be born
To someone like you
What I left undone
She will certainly do
I know she is coming
And I know she will look
And that is the longing
And this is the hook
I can't make the hills
The system is shot
I'm living on pills
For which I thank God
My page was too white
My ink was too thinned
The day wouldn't write
But the night penciled in
But I know she's coming
And I know she will look
That is the longing
This is the hook
I know she is coming
And I know she will look
That is the longing
And this is the hook
I can't make the hills
The system is shot
I'm living on pills
For which I thank God
I sailed like a swan
I sank like a rock
But time is long gone
Past my laughing stock
I can't make the hills
The system is shot
I'm living on pills
For which I thank God
