Goodbye, Leonard Cohen.

He was 92

82.

We'll add math to the things you're not good at. Cowardice and obsession over me, however, you've got covered. :cool:

(And thank you for keeping this thread near the top. Cohen was a genius.)
 
And I’ll dance with you in Vienna,
I’ll be wearing a river’s disguise.
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder
my mouth on the dew of your thighs.
And I’ll bury my soul in a scrapbook,
with the photographs there and the moss.
And I’ll yield to the flood of your beauty,
my cheap violin and my cross.
 
Sad news.

The man was a poet, entertainer, and gentleman.

A true artist.
 
A Thousand Kisses Deep

Leonard Cohen

"I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed,
I'm back on Boogie Street.
I guess they won't exchange the gifts
That you were meant to keep.
And quiet is the thought of you,
The file on you complete,
Except what we forgot to do,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat . . ."
 
Bird on a Wire is still my favourite.

... I will try, in my way, to be free...
 
"we weren't lovers like that
and besides it would still be alright"
 
I've sung his songs for a long time.

I'll keep on singing.
