Lyrics Leonard Cohen – Nevermind

Nevermind Lyrics – Leonard Cohen

Singer: Leonard Cohen
Title: Nevermind

The war was lost
The treaty signed
I was not caught
I crossed the line

I was not caught
Though many tried
I live among you
Well disguised

I had to leave
My life behind
I dug some graves
You’ll never find

The story’s told
With facts and lies
I have a name
But nevermind

Nevermind
Nevermind
The war was lost
The treaty signed

There’s truth that lives
And truth that dies
I don’t know which
So nevermind

Your victory
Was so complete
Some among you
Thought to keep

A record of
Our little lives
The clothes we wore
Our spoons, our knives

The games of luck
Our soldiers played
The stones we cut
The songs we made

Our law of peace
Which understands
A husband leads
A wife commands

And all of this
Expressions of
The sweet indifference
Some call love

The high indifference
Some call fate
But we had names
More intimate

Names so deep and
Names so true
They’re blood to me
They’re dust to you

There is no need
That this survive
There’s truth that lives
And truth that dies

Nevermind
Nevermind
I live the life
I left behind

There’s truth that lives
And truth that dies
I don’t know which
So nevermind

I could not kill
The way you kill
I could not hate
I tried I failed

You turned me in
At least you tried
You side with them
Whom you despise

This was your heart
This swarm of flies
This was once your mouth
This bowl of lies

You serve them well
I’m not surprised
You’re of their kin
You’re of their kind

Nevermind
Nevermind
I had to leave my life behind
The story’s told

With facts and lies
You own the world
So nevermind
Nevermind

Nevermind
I live the life
I left behind
I live it full

I live it wide
Through layers of time
You can’t divide
My woman’s here

My children too
Their graves are safe
From ghosts like you
In places deep

With roots entwined
I live the life I left behind
The war was lost
The treaty signed

I was not caught
I crossed the line
I was not caught
Though many tried

I live among you
Well disguised
