Leonard Cohen Is Gone

from The Only Answer by Ross W Berman IV

/

lyrics

I was standing on a corner, and the sewer sang Sinatra
And the wind smelled a little like the blues
I was standing on the corner, on the border of Forever
When I felt the past leave my body, through my shoes

You're gone like Dylan Thomas
Gone like Janis Joplin
Gone like the cobblestones in the street
You're gone like Brendan Behan
Gone like Nancy Spungen
Gone just like time beneath my feet

I was standing on a corner, and the Chelsea Hotel's shuttered
Because its getting a full gut rehab deluxe
The guitar store's now just coffee, and Queens is for the artists
But love lived here, you sang about it once

I remember it well, your song of the Chelsea Hotel
And those secrets that you couldn't keep to yourself
I remember it well, your song of the Chelsea Hotel
But now its bought, and sold, and bought again, its a temple to some wealth

Gone
Gone
Gone
Gone
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye

I was standing on a corner, and the Chelsea Hotel's shuttered
Because its getting a full gut rehab deluxe
