I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,

You were talking so brave and so sweet,

Giving me head on the unmade bed,

While the limousines wait in the street.

Those were the reasons and that was New York,

We were running for the money and the flesh.

And that was called love for the workers in song

Probably still is for those of them left.

Ah but you got away, didn't you babe,

You just turned your back on the crowd,

You got away, I never once heard you say,

I need you, I don't need you,

I need you, I don't need you

And all of that jiving around.

Saw him live in Dublin 3 years ago. Best concert I've ever been to. He owned the stage.

I saw a Sgt.Peppers type tribute to all those who we've lost this year. It's quite sad.

...Your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her

She tied you

To a kitchen chair

She broke your throne, and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah...

That line about gettin the blow job

That Leonard sings

She said it made her

Want to do naughty things

Right about then

I should have asked

If she knew

What the Chelsea charged

If we got a room for two

But I didn't and I know

I'm a schmuck, don't you doubt it

The only thing I did

Was write this stupid song about it

If I was Leonard Cohen

Or some others song writing master

I'd know to first get the oral sex

And then write the song after

He really did - There is a crack in everything / That's how the light gets in

This makes me very, very sad. I'd always hoped to see him live, but the timing was never good, and now it's too late. RIP.

Would you believe that song you quote the lines from called Anthem, took him 10 years to write! My own personal favourite is the song Suzanne.

Well Marianne it’s come to this time when we are really so old and our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon. Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine.

And you know that I’ve always loved you for your beauty and your wisdom, but I don’t need to say anything more about that because you know all about that.

But now, I just want to wish you a very good journey. Goodbye old friend. Endless love, see you down the road.

This was a recent letter he wrote to his muse Marianne Ihlen as she lay during her final hours...

Do you reckon he died of a broken heart Candy? Maybe the loss of her love and as his inspiration was too much to bear for him so he knew he'd follow her.

It could be, it happened to Mr69's Gran. His Granda died and less than 15 years later his Gran died of a broken heart...

I was lucky enough to hear this amazing man and artist live twice.

Farwell Leonard.

As always at closing time, you waltzed elegantly off the stage.
