Lyrics of It Seemed the Better Way by Leonard Cohen
verse
Seemed the better way
When first I heard him speak
Now it's much to late
To turn the other cheek
chorus
Sounded like the truth
Seemed the better way
Sounded like the truth
But it's not that truth today
verse
I wonder what it was
I wonder what it meant
First he touched on love
Then he touched on death
chorus
Sounded like the truth
Seemed the better way
Sounded like the truth
But it's not that truth today
verse
I better hold my tongue
I better take my place
Lift this glass of blood
Try to say the grace
verse
Seemed the better way
When first I heard him speak
But now it's much to late
To turn the other cheek
chorus
Sounded like the truth
Seemed the better way
Sounded like the truth
But it's not that truth today
verse
I'd better hold my tongue
I better take my place
Lift this glass of blood
Try to say the grace
Writer(s): Patrick Leonard, Leonard Cohen
