Leonard Cohen — Treaty

[Verse 1] 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 high with you [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 aerial [Chorus] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Verse 5] 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
