"With Annie gone,
whose eyes to compare
with the morning sun?
Not that I did compare,
But I do compare
Now that she’s gone."

Leonard Cohen - Dress Rehearsal Rag

I thought you were a racing man

But you couldn’t take the pace

That’s a funeral in the mirror

And it’s stopping at your face

"This is the only poem
I can read
I am the only one
can write it
I didn’t kill myself
when things went wrong
I didn’t turn
to drugs or teaching
I tried to sleep
but when I couldn’t sleep
I learned to write
I learned to write
what might be read
on nights like this
by one like me"
— Leonard Cohen, The Only Poem

Leonard Cohen - In My Secret Life

But I’m always alone

And my heart is like ice

Leonard Cohen - Famous Blue Raincoat

You’re living for nothing now

I hope you’re keeping some kind of record

Leonard Cohen - Dress Rehearsal Rag

That’s right, it’s come to this

Yes it’s come to this

And wasn’t it a long way down?

"With Annie gone,
whose eyes to compare
with the morning sun?
Not that I did compare,
But I do compare
Now that she’s gone."
