Leonard Cohen
Anything I tell you is an alibi for something else. Then let's be quiet together.
Leonard Cohen
A sip of wine, a cigarette, And then it’s time to go. I tidied up the kitchenette I tuned the old banjo. I’m wanted at the traffic-jam. They’re saving me a seat.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
Music is the emotional life of the most people.
Leonard Cohen
And here you are hurried, And here you are gone And here is the love, That it's all built upon.
