a reference to Leonard Cohen
written by Klaus Adamaschek

lyrics

In Barbaras room
A reference to Leonard Cohen

It seems so long ago, these parties in Barbaras room
The music loud, the lights were low, 'til someone said “play Leonard Cohen”
In a moment the conversation stopped, tears were falling as the wine was flowing
We listened to the words of god, when god is calling, what do you know?
We did know nothing

Still I don't know each single Cohen song
And I don't know where the friends have gone
But I know that I love you and I want you from now
'til the end of my days

It seems so long ago, these lessons in Barbaras room
Me and my guitar sixteen years old, Barbara asked me for songs of Cohen
So I taught her Suzanne and Marianne and she brought her girlfriend along
I married that girl some years later then. Was it love? We were so young,
What did we know?

Still I don't know each single Cohen song
And I don't know where this girl has gone
But I know that I love you and I want you from now
'til the end of my days

And now I look around me, at the age of fifty nine
Leonard Cohen died last year but the two of us we still have some time
So don't lose yourself in memories of a life that might have been
I'm thankful that you're here with me as a lover, as a friend
Today is all we have

Still I don't know each single Cohen song
And I don't know where our lives are going
But I know that I love you and I want you from now
'til the end of my days
