Leonard Cohen Lyrics

Album: Death Of A Ladies' Man

Paper Thin Hotel Lyrics

The walls of this hotel are paper-thin 

 Last night I heard you making love to him 

 The struggle mouth to mouth and limb to limb 

 The grunt of unity when he came in 

 I stood there with my ear against the wall 

 I was not seized by jealousy at all 

 In fact a burden lifted from my soul 

 I heard that love was out of my control 

 A heavy burden lifted from my soul 

 I heard that love was out of my control 

 

 I listened to your kisses at the door 

 I never heard the world so clear before 

 You ran your bath and you began to sing 

 I felt so good I couldn't feel a thing 

 

 I stood there with my ear against the wall ... 

 

 And I can't wait to tell you to your face 

 And I can't wait for you to take my place 

 You are The Naked Angel In My Heart 

 You are The Woman With Her Legs Apart 

 It's written on the walls of this hotel 

 You go to heaven once you've been to hell 

 

 A heavy burden lifted from my soul 

 I heard that love was out of my control
