Additional quotes by Leonard Cohen

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there

Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer

one mask but one true face which was the same and which was a thing without a name which changed and
changed into itself over and over.
