Wonderful Song of Leonard Cohen, the world famous Song writer and singer. So sad he passed away.

This song is so brilliant. Paying rent every day in thee tower of song. He heard Hank Williams 100 floors above him, 'coughing all night long'. The only thing with your selections of Cohen, is that they are a part of his songs, rather than poems. Leonard wrote books of poetry also.
Leonard will always live on through his heart touching words and vibrations.. Great piece!
