Leonard Cohen - The Window Lyrics
Why do you stand by the window
Abandoned to beauty and pride
The thorn of the night in your bosom
The spear of the age in your side
Lost in the rages of fragrance
Lost in the waves of a sickness
That loosens the high silver nerves
Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love
Oh tangle of matter and ghost
Oh darling of angels, demons and saints
And the whole broken-hearted host
Gentle this soul
And come forth from the cloud of unknowing
And kiss the cheek of the moon
Why tarry all night in the ruin
And leave no word of discomfort
And leave no observer to mourn
But climb on your tears and be silent
Like a rose on its ladder of thorns
Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love...
Then lay your rose on the fire
The sun give over to splendour
In the arms of the high holy one
For the holy one dreams of a letter
Dreams of a letter's death
Oh bless thee continuous stutter
Of the word being made into flesh
Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love...
Gentle this soul

Leonard Cohen The Window Comments
kojaca dusze, dzieki
I'm in a dark place in my life... What a sweet blessing to find the voice of our human souls. Rest gentle good man. Thank you for letting us know we are never alone.
exquisite. like fine wine, he only got better with age. one of a few who would be worthy of eternal life to the enrichment of us all.
Leonard deserved the Nobel prize for literature (poetry).
don't know but I think the clue is in the word listen!
I've watched this video many times (I usually just listen while doing other things) and I've probably made a couple comments but I don't think I've said yet that whoever made this video did a good job. ❤
Yes u have right
This is so beautiful. With the earphones I hear every little note. ❤
one of my favorites, love
i like play violon, good video
Gut für die Seele
What a song writer! The music is great too, and always love it when he uses background singers.
Just watched the Story BBC Leonard and Maryanne, 2019 Absolutely brilliant!! You are Lived Leonard till the end of the end. Music and Poetry is not the same without you,💖💖💖💖😪😪
I discovered this wonderful voice this year and I have been blessed.
To all those persons who disliked such heavenly voice and music:
Dear God please forgive them, for they've sinned.
First hearing your mind is intrigued. Second hearing penetration begins. Third hearing makes sparkles in your mind. Fourth hearing your mind and soul are coming together. Fifth hearing your mind and soul are hooked. Subsequent hearing just penetrate deeper into your mind and soul, fusing them more, until perfect harmony and understanding is achieved. Oh, Leonard, you must have been talking with the angels as they described their battles with Satan and their subsequent victories, and their love for the beauty of God's creation despite the failings of man to realize it. Now you are in perfect harmony with them all forever. Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
Your songs will live on and on because of the energy You help raising consciouses level in the World
Sometimes,
stuck, on high.
Raging, rather,
the calm come
undone.
Suddenly,
the words,
as they
reveal
them
selves:
are a
blessing,
indeed.
Oh,
for the
gentle
remind
of past,
perhaps
lost in
that which
unfreezes
after
unraveling.
That,
which
unravelles
us all. .
Vale, Leonard.
For the sharing
of your
getnle, playful
soul with us all.

love your songs. too bad you're gone but your songs live forever.
Ewig und Unvergessen für mich und nach über 40 Jahren meine bewährte Medizin gegen die Leiden die das Leben bereit hält.
Shame about the imagery in the video. It is biased to Christianity, repetitive and wrong for this astonishingly beautiful song which expresses metaphors to deliver its message which is NOT about tribalism in spirituality.
Un très grand poête. Un très grand artiste. Merci Monsieur Cohen.
Wonderful !
Beautiful song....
Absolutely sublime ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ RIP Leonard Cohen 🙏🙏🌹👏💐
Younger Leonard.💙
The c flute is pretty in this one
The story harah
one of the best .
like country with out the puke factor.
One of the most beautiful songs by Leonard Cohen!
Why do you stand by the window
Abandoned to beauty and pride
The thorn of the night in your bosom
The spear of the age in your side
Lost in the rages of fragrance
Lost in the rags of remorse
Lost in the waves of a sickness
That loosens the high silver nerves
Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love
Oh tangle of matter and ghost
Oh darling of angels, demons and saints
And the whole broken-hearted host
Gentle this soul
And come forth from the cloud of unknowing
And kiss the cheek of the moon
The New Jerusalem glowing
Why tarry all night in the ruin
And leave no word of discomfort
And leave no observer to mourn
But climb on your tears and be silent
Like a rose on its ladder of thorns
Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love
Then lay your rose on the fire
The fire give up to the sun
The sun give over to splendour
In the arms of the high holy one
For the holy one dreams of a letter
Dreams of a letter's death
Oh bless thee continuous stutter
Of the word being made into flesh
Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love
Gentle this soul
for some reason, this song, makes me think of another song,
Why me Lord!... both songs feel the same.
Goedemorgen, het duurste hart
Piękny pokaz video, głos i słowa mojego jedynego ukochanego Leonarda.Dziękuję.Żal, że już Go nie ma wśród nas ogromny....😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
thank yyyyou leonard
Cod cheeks! So good! I like fish
Why do you stand by the window
Abandoned to beauty and pride
The thorn of the night in your bosom
The spear of the age in your side
Lost in the rages of fragrance
Lost in the rags of remorse
Lost in the waves of a sickness
That loosens the high silver nerves
Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love
Oh tangle of matter and ghost
Oh darling of angels, demons and saints
And the whole broken-hearted host
Gentle this soul
And come forth from the cloud of unknowing
And kiss the cheek of the moon
The New Jerusalem glowing
Why tarry all night in the ruin
And leave no word of discomfort
And leave no observer to mourn
But climb on your tears and be silent
Like a rose on its ladder of thorns
Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love
Then lay your rose on the fire
The fire give up to the sun
The sun give over to splendour
In the arms of the high holy one
For the holy one dreams of a letter
Dreams of a letter's death
Oh bless thee continuous stutter
Of the word being made into flesh
Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love
Gentle this soul

Quite simple they are not true christians or human beings in fact
Fabulous song, fabulous violin.....
Beautiful lyrics.
The visual art in this song was amazingly beautiful. This man is a musical master of the highest order. I liked Trump from the beginning simply for his comedic value. I was amazed to see an angel baby in training. This man is turning out to be the greatest leader the USA ever had, or could ever hope for. He is addressing every serious issue, but, unfortunately, he is not aware of the serious environmental issues yet. In other very vital issues, he is facing them head on with wonderful success. Maybe he will actually bring the USA back from the brink. I hope so.
Kochany Leonard Cohen -Twój głos ,Twoje piosenki -Ty zawsze będziesz z nami
Yes I’m now listening Leonard’s work which I did not listen to ear.lier
This Lent I just listen to Cohen, he brings me closer to God as nothing else can ever do.
The song makes me cry, I loved his voice ! RIP !!!!
Voz y música maravillosa. Me gusta mucho
Beautiful! RIP Leonard Cohen
I love all your songs full of meanings.
what an incredible poet
Why do you stand by the window
Abandoned to beauty and pride
The thorn of the night in your bosom
The spear of the age in your side
Lost in the rages of fragrance
Lost in the rags of remorse
Lost in the waves of a sickness
That loosens the high silver nerves
Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love
Oh tangle of matter and ghost
Oh darling of angels, demons and saints
And the whole broken-hearted host
Gentle this soul
And come forth from the cloud of unknowing
And kiss the cheek of the moon
The New Jerusalem glowing
Why tarry all night in the ruin
And leave no word of discomfort
And leave no observer to mourn
But climb on your tears and be silent
Like a rose on its ladder of thorns
Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love
Then lay your rose on the fire
The fire give up to the sun
The sun give over to splendour
In the arms of the high holy one
For the holy one dreams of a letter
Dreams of a letter's death
Oh bless thee continuous stutter
Of the word being made into flesh
Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love
Gentle this soul

CLOUD OF UNKNOWING
Is there an "R" version?
One of my all-time favorite songs ......... pure poetry.
How can this song sooooooo stir and move ?
gran maestro
Not a day goes bye that I don’t thank him. Leonard, I’m your man
Do you promise to let me save my work? Do promise not to stand in my way and frustrate me??????????? PLease give me a divinitive answer!!!!!
the pictures put with the song are beautiful. thank you.
This song becoming a favourite
i had never heard this one before and now i am in Love with it. Thank you Leonard for this loving look through and into the window of your soul. God Bless You. God bless you Wayne Jones for putting it into this frame of pictures.
Namaste
Happy birthday dear Gudrun!
Todo un placer para los sentidos. Gracias, inolvidable, leonard Cohen
Love this song
The dislikers have no soul just listen to all modern crap with their tiny brains blown apart
tempo is key
Thanks Leonard for contributing to the soundtrack of our lives for half a century. As the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inscribed in 2008:
"For six decades, Leonard Cohen revealed his soul to the world through poetry and song—his deep and timeless humanity touching our very core. Simply brilliant. His music and words will resonate forever. "
Merveilleuse chanson
He said the words were inspired by Rumi. Leonard died the day before Trump was selected. Just in time.......
Such a wonderfull.song, touches me into my hart . I think when my time has come I would love to have this song at me funeral
When I listen to Leonard Cohen I always listen first to his melody and his beautiful voice - paying little attention to the words - just riding the waves that he ripples into time and always enjoying the ride - such is this song - maybe that's why I hear something so different than most -
Certainly - the person who put together the images here - heard words much different from the way in which I heard them
Only poets speak the truth
Peace to you Leonard, the depth of this song is of gentleness, oh holy one and lovely one, oh lay your rose on the fire. So the continuous, stuttering Word, the word of Being is made unto our flesh. It shall be.
Beautiful! Love you Mr Cohen
Such a beautiful song and I must say that you have made a beautiful video to go with it!!♥️✝️🥀✝️
Beautiful song
Beautiful song and lyrics from a beautiful soul. Without his songs, my life would not be the same🌹
Gentle this soul..... miss you Leonard, so happy to have your wonderful music to play and your written words to read.
He will Always be remebered.
God is love well words always fall short of that which cannot be named...
So love words .
Gentle this soul!
Love you forever Leonard Cohen.
You are our eternal poet.

¡Oh cielos! Bellísima canción. Siglo XXI. ¿Donde está DIOS? ¿Donde está ese Sr. justo, ese Sr. que, supuestamente, nos quiere.
Inolvidable poeta.

DESCANSE EN PAZ ESTE MUSICO Y POETA, SIENPRE TE RECORDAREMOS, Y ESCUCHREMOS TUMUSICA,

One year missing you. Whenever you happen to be, "gentle this soul, gentle this soul ".
This song "The Window" cuts through my heart and pins in my soul. Rest in peace here means to me: You ARE in my soul. -- Hans Rosenthal (A.H.R.D.)
The word being made into flesh is Jesus Christ .
The word made flesh is Jesus Christ.
live happy as possible as you can with your partner because the life is like an express train: beauty will be taken by the time when it self it gone....
who is Rafi Hakopian the violinist?
Can't stop playing this at the moment - it is so beautiful - both words and music - Love Leonard anyway but I was not so familiar with this one, however today it has completely gripped me. How badly missed you are dear Leonard 💔
pure magic, amazing beauty of text and music - thank you for the spirit you have expressed, dear Leonard Cohen - you have left traces for humanity to grow in Light!
WE ARE GROWING - GROWING in LIGHT.
I find Rafi Akopian's violin playing superb sublime really it really enhances Leonard''s voice This violin is just wonderful, haunting and very tender
Quite simple people who vote dislike most probably are spiritless and like modern crap like Adel and other ten a penny artists.
such a nice song
