A little sick tonight
A little bothersome cold
Please, please good sleep
I feel I'm growing old

I am no one important
Who will miss me when I'm dead?

Keep them moving ahead

Leonard Cohen in London
Quite late along
They don't let a woman **** you
Not in the Tower of Song

Dance me through the panic
Till I'm gathered safely in
Silent meditation
Help me to begin

Not really a question of if
More a question of when

Will I too disappear
Like I've never ever been?

I'm just a Mountain Man.
Sometimes I string together words
And syllables in a way that really
Doesn't make much sense.

You should forget everything I just told you.

Would you like some tea?

Like a little sip of tea

In Dublin meant to be

Fatherhood is worry
Please, Life, protect my 3!
Keep them on the Way
Keep them - xie xie ni

                      Si.

Not too good at friendship
Mostly misunderstanding and pain
Traveling all alone
