I saw you this morning,
You were moving so fast.
Can't seem to loosen my grip,
On the past.
And I miss you so much,
There's no one in sight.
And we're still making love,
In my secret life.

I smile when I'm angry.
I cheat and I lie.
I do what I have to do,
To get by.
But I know what is wrong,
And I know what is right.
And I'd die for the truth,
In my secret life.

Hold on, hold on, my brother,
My sister, hold on tight.
I finally got my orders,
I'll be marching through the morning.
Marching through the night,
Moving 'cross the borders,
Of my secret life.

Looked through the paper,
Makes you want to cry.
Nobody cares if the people,
Live or die.
And the dealer wants you thinking,
That it's either black or white.
Thank God it's not that simple,
In my secret life.

I bite my lip.
I buy what I'm told.
From the latest hit,
To the wisdom of old.
But I'm always alone,
And my heart is like ice.
And it's crowded and cold,
In my secret life

like it.....fits my mood right now
Complete pap! I can't stand this{#Razz}
I love this woman's voice! I first heard her in a song (as the credits rolled) from the movie soundtrack to "Miss Potter." I look forward to her career taking off even more in the next few years.
I like this. Never heard the Leonard Cohen version though.

Well now, this should get interesting...
I don't know, this isn't one of Leonard's best efforts either....I don't think the lyric is trite, but it's not all that special, either.

and here's another. This isn't the way to cover Cohen.

Nice rendition!
ACK!!!!! What an awful voice, accompanied by trite lyrics and insignificant instrumental backing. Who the hell thought to give this woman a record deal??
I'd rather hear Leonard.
What a pile of Meh. Instant 3.5
Hmmmmmmm.
Whooaaa!!! had to stop and listen to this one. Makes me want to go home and make love to my woman.
Nah!.... Leave it to Leonard Katie. I'm sure you don't need to do covers, 'speshly covers of Legends like LC.
She's absolutely channeling, only someone needs to wrap tinfoil around the tips of the rabbit ears.

Very Norah Jones-like. Even the cover photo looks like a Nora Jones cover photo.
Yes, very boring - god this girl is annoying!

Enough enough, the gold is buried under.....
Good segue - after Joe Henry. She sounds like a female Joe Henry.
Leonard Cohen rock's! However, open mind to other versions when not bad. Yes? Nice voice, Yes? ;) Surely must have other good songs you would like, if not this.:)
She doesn't have a clue does she? Has she even heard of Leonard Cohen?

I think Katie is using some kind of secret lure – I didn't even remember the song but came right back in upon the first few notes! Time to look at the artist's life and learn more. . .
