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
And she feeds you tea and oranges

And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
