Additional quotes by Leonard Cohen

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the lord of song
With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah

Así como un bebedor entre el bullicio de la medianoche,
así he intentado ser libre, a mi manera.
