Way Down Deep

©Leonard Cohen and Jennifer Warnes, first recorded by Jennifer Warnes on "Hunter" (1992)

.

way down, way way down

way way down deep

you're got me way down, way way down,

way way down deep

you're got me way down, way down deep

I wander with you in my sleep

I'm way down, way way down,

way way down deep

.

it came to me this morning

I was walking down the street

was like my soul could taste you

and God, you tasted sweet

finally I can breathe again

finally I can speak

I've got you in the glory place

I've got you way down deep

.

I've got you way down, way way down,

way way down deep

you're got me way down, way way down,

way way down deep

you're got me way down, way way down,

I wander with you in my sleep

I'm way down, way way down,

way way down deep

.

it's a funny feeling

but I cannot say I mind

I know that I'm dealing with

a love that's far from blind

I see every single angle

I look before I leap

how else can I put it

when you're got me way down deep

.

you've got me way down, way way down,

way way down deep

you've got me way down, way way down,

way way down deep

you've got me way down, way down deep

I wander with you in my sleep

I'm way down, way way down,

way way down deep

.

don't matter what we gave away

was nothing we could keep

don't matter what we gave away

you know that talk is cheap

forgive me if I hate you

you're a liar and a thief

but I've got you in the glory place

I got you way down deep

.

you've got me way down, way way down ...

.

don't matter if the road is long

don't matter if it's steep

don't matter if the moon goes out

and darkness is complete

don't matter if we lose our way

I know we're gonna meet

I've got you in the glory place

I've got you way down deep

.

you've got me way down, way way down ...

.
