Choices Songtext

von Leonard Cohen

I've had choices
Since the day that I was born
There were voices
That told me right from wrong
If I had listened
I wouldn't be here today
Livin' and dyin'
With the choices I've made
I was tempted
At an early age I found
That I liked drinkin'
No, I never turned it down
There were loved ones
But I chased them all away
Now I'm livin' and dyin'
With the choices I've made
I've had choices
Since the day that I was born
(There were) I heard voices
That told me right from wrong
If I had listened
No, I wouldn't be here today
Livin' and dyin'
With the choices I've made
I'm still payin'
For the things that I have done
If I could turn back
Oh, Lord I would run
But I'm still losin'
At this game of life I play
Now I'm livin' and dyin'
With the choices I've made
I had choices
Since the day that I was born
There were voices
That told me right from wrong
If I had listened
I wouldn't be here today
Livin' and dyin'
With the choices I made
Livin' and dyin'
With the choices that I've made
