Of Leonard Cohen-I just thought this was cool

[teddifunken]

I used to be your favorite drunk
Good for one more laugh.
Then we both ran out of luck
And luck was all we had.
You put on a uniform
To fight the civil war
I tried to join but no one liked
The side I'm fighting for.

So let's drink to when it's over
And let's drink to when we meet
I'll be waiting on this corner
Where there used to be a street

It wasn't all that easy
When you upped and walked away
But I'll leave that little story
For another rainy day
I know the burden's heavy
As you wheel it through the night
The guru says it's empty
But that doesn't mean it's light.

So let's drink to when it's over
And let's drink to when we meet
I'll be standing on this corner
Where there used to be a street

You left me with the dishes
And a baby in the bath
And you’re tight with the militia
And you wear their camouflage
Well I guess that makes us equal
But I want to march with you
It’s just an extra in the sequel
To the old, Red, White & Blue

So let's drink to when it's over
And let's drink to when we meet
I'll be waiting on this corner
Where there used to be a street

It's gonna be September now
For many years to come
Many hearts adjusting
To that strict September drum
I see the ghost of culture With numbers on his wrist
Salute some new conclusion
That all of us have missed.

So let's drink to when it's over
And let's drink to when we meet
I'll be waiting on this corner
Where there used to be a street
