Leonard Cohen - 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
Oh 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've got this rig that runs on memory
And I promise, cross my heart, they'll never catch us
But if they do just tell them it was me

I've 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
