I Want To Be In Love - Lyrics by Leonard Cohen


Lyrics
I have climbed the highest mountain
I have sailed across the sea
I have wrestled with my demons

And woke up with only me
I have been around the block

Three times maybe four

And I think I deserve just a little more


In front of total strangers won't you kiss me

Flowers for no reason but you miss me

Oh I want to be in love

You're standing on the doorstep in the rain

Cause you couldn't wait to see me once again

Oh I want to be in love

I have made some big mistakes

And I've paid a heavy price
I found a little peace between will and sacrifice
I have watched as all my dreams
Went walking out the door

And I think I deserve just a little more

I'm looking for a heart of gold
I'm looking for a hand to hold
A happy end

Strong and kind

Somewhere to rest my troubled mind


In front of total strangers won't you kiss me

Flowers for no reason but you miss me

Oh I want to be in love

On Tuesday light the candles bring me wine

Wednesday morning I won't get to work on time

Oh I want to be in love

Surprise me as I'm stepping off the plane

Take my hand as they play our song again

Oh I want to be in love
