Leonard Cohen Lyrics

Album: I'm Your Man

I CAN'T FORGET Lyrics

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
