Kontext: p>The light came through the window,

The dust you seldom see,
Out of which the Nameless makes
A Name for one like me.</p
Introducing "If It Be Your Will"
Warsaw concert (1985)
Kontext: I don't know which side is anybody on any more. I don't really care. There is a moment when we have to transcend the side we're on and understand that we are creatures of a higher order. That doesn't mean that I don't wish you courage in your struggle. There is on both sides of the struggle men of good will. That is important to remember. On both sides of the struggle, some struggling for freedom, some struggling for safety and solemn testimony of that unbroken faith which binds generations one to another I sing this song, "If It Be Your Will"
"Suzanne"
Songs of Leonard Cohen (1967)
Kontext: And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
“You go to Heaven once you've been to Hell”
Quelle: Song Paper Thin Hotel
“You whisper, "You have loved enough,
Now let me be the Lover."”

shy as though I'd
never been your lover”

And here you are gone;
And here is the love,
That it's all built upon.”
