| Leonard Cohen The Street. Click to hear the song. |
Leonard Cohen died November 7, 2016.
Here's a lyric that sticks in my mind--
I know the burden’s heavy
As you wheel it through the night
Some people say it’s empty
But that don’t mean it’s light
Alicia
I loved moody Leonard Cohen, his deep, raspy voice and heartfelt words that transcended gender, age and race.
ReplyDeleteI know... what a loss. We still have Tom Waits though:
ReplyDeleteThe wind is making speeches;
And the rain sounds like a round of applause;
Napoleon is weeping in the Carnival saloon;
His invisible fiance is in the mirror;
The band is going home;
It's raining hammers, it's raining nails…..
and it’s time, time that you love.
And that song has one of the most beautiful images ever:
As the dish outside the window
Fills with rain
Alicia
