The Law — текст песни (Leonard Cohen)

How many times did you call me
And I knew it was late
I left everybody
But I never went straight
I don`t claim to be guilty
But I do understand
There`s a Law, there`s an Arm, there`s a Hand
There`s a Law, there`s an Arm, there`s a Hand
Now my heart`s like a blister
From doing what I do
If the moon has a sister
It`s got to be you
I`m going to miss you forever
Tho` it`s not what I planned
There`s a Law, there`s an Arm, there`s a Hand
There`s a Law, there`s an Arm, there`s a Hand

Now the deal has been dirty
Since dirty began
I`m not asking for mercy
Not from the man
You just don`t ask for mercy
While you`re still on the stand
There`s a Law, there`s an Arm, there`s a Hand
There`s a Law, there`s an Arm, there`s a Hand

I don`t claim to be guilty
Guilty`s too grand
There`s a Law, there`s an Arm, there`s a Hand
There`s a Law, there`s an Arm, there`s a Hand

That`s all I can say, baby
That`s all I can say
It wasn`t for nothing
That they put me away
I fell with my angel
Down the chain of command
There`s a Law, there`s an Arm, there`s a Hand
There`s a Law, there`s an Arm, there`s a Hand
There`s a Law, there`s an Arm, there`s a Hand
