Now suzanne takes you hand And she leads you to the river She is wearing rags and feathers From salvation army counters And the sun pours down like honey On our lady of the harbour And she shows you where to look Among the garbage and the flowers There are heroes in the seaweed There are children in the morning They are leaning out for love And they will lean that way forever While suzanne holds the mirror And you want to travel with her And you want to travel blind And you know that she will trust you For shes touched your perfect body with her mind.
Leonard CohenAnd clenching your fist for the ones like us Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty.
Leonard CohenExcept for a couple of hours in the morning which I passed in the company of a sage I stayed in bed without food only a few mouthfuls of water โyou are a fine looking old manโ I said to myself in the mirror โand what is more you have the correct attitude You donโt care if it ends or if it goes on And as for the women and the music there will be plenty of that in Paradiseโ Then I went to the Mosque of Memory to express my gratitude
Leonard Cohen
