Leonard Cohen - Going Home Lyrics
I love to speak with Leonard
He’s a sportsman and a shepherd
He’s a lazy bastard
Living in a suit
Even though it isn’t welcome
He just doesn't have the freedom
To refuse
He will speak these words of wisdom
Like a sage, a man of vision
Though he knows he’s really nothing
But the brief elaboration of a tube
Going home
Going home
Sometime tomorrow
Going home
To where it’s better
Than before
Going home
Without my burden
Going home
Behind the curtain
Going home
Without the costume
That I wore
He wants to write a love song
An anthem of forgiving
A manual for living with defeat
A cry above the suffering
A sacrifice recovering
But that isn’t what I need him
To complete
I want him to be certain
That he doesn’t have a burden
That he doesn’t need a vision
That he only has permission
To do my instant bidding
Which is to say what I have told him
To repeat
Going home
Without my sorrow
Going home
Sometime tomorrow
Going home
To where it’s better
Than before
Going home
Without my burden
Going home
Behind the curtain
Going home
Without this costume
That I wore
Going home
Without the sorrow
Going home
Sometime tomorrow
Going home
To where it’s better
Than before
Going home
Without the burden
Going home
Behind the curtain
Going home
Without this costume
That I wore
I love to speak with Leonard
He’s a sportsman and a shepherd
He’s a lazy bastard
Living in a suit

16 people are made of lost bits of ocean plastic.
We buried my Zayde today. Thank you for this comfort, again, wherever you are.
Two years ago today, after what many consider his finest work, he moved on to ....guess we'll have to wait and see. I hope we will meet again.
No lazy bastard in a suit, his body of work puts him up there with Dylan. Leonard's now home, after an amazing journey.
Join us in a Celebration of Leonard Cohen's life and music in Somerville, MA on September 24:

Ähm, sorry, but when will you come back? It's high time!
Thanks Leonard for making this song. I've used some of it on the invitations for my father's funeral who died yesterday of alzheimer's at only 69 years of age. My father wasn't as talkative as Leonard, but Leonard's music was the translation of my father's emotions. He always listened to him whenever needed it.
Komm gut an im Himmel!

Fuiste y eres como el polvo de estrellas que una y otra vez renace a la luz, hermosa lección de vida en unos tiempos de inmediatez y soflama. ¡Bienvenido seas Leonard!
