Paper Thin Hotel — текст песни (Leonard Cohen)

The walls of this hotel are paper-thin
Last night I heard you making love to him
The struggle mouth to mouth and limb to limb
The grunt of unity when he came in
I stood there with my ear against the wall
I was not seized by jealousy at all
In fact a burden lifted from my soul
I heard that love was out of my control
A heavy burden lifted from my soul
I heard that love was out of my control

I listened to your kisses at the door
I never heard the world so clear before
You ran your bath and you began to sing
I felt so good I couldn`t feel a thing

I stood there with my ear against the wall ...

And I can`t wait to tell you to your face
And I can`t wait for you to take my place
You are The Naked Angel In My Heart
You are The Woman With Her Legs Apart
It`s written on the walls of this hotel
You go to heaven once you`ve been to hell

A heavy burden lifted from my soul
I heard that love was out of my control
