I Can't Forget

I stumbled out of bed 
I got ready for the struggle 
I smoked a cigarette 
And I tightened up my gut 
I said this can't be me 
Must be my double 

And I can't forget, I can't forget 
I can't forget but I don't remember what 

I'm burning up the road 
I'm heading down to Phoenix 
I got this old address 
Of someone that I knew 
It was high and fine and free 
Ah, you should have seen us 

And I can't forget, I can't forget 
I can't forget but I don't remember who 

I'll be there today 
With a big bouquet of cactus 
I got this rig that runs on memories 
And I promise, cross my heart, 
They'll never catch us 
But if they do, just tell them it was me 

Yeah I loved you all my life 
And that's how I want to end it 
The summer's almost gone 
The winter's tuning up 
Yeah, the summer's gone 
But a lot goes on forever 

And I can't forget, I can't forget 
I can't forget but I don't remember what

Leonard Cohen (1934-...)

Es-tu devenue cendre, que tu aies besoin de renaître?

See ya, love in the mist.

Ah phoenix, j'y serai mardi ;o)
Sans grand intérêt, mais je tenais à le notifier, la coincidence était frappante.
Sur ce, bonne nuit, ou bonne journée, l'un des deux, quoique le dimanche...c'est pas le jour le plus intéressant qui soit.
much luv from heart
