Songtexte I Can't Forget - Leonard Cohen

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
