Lyrics:
Never Met Friends” to Leonard Cohen
Leonard, my Friend
From East to West
A long old road it’s been
heard of you before
but not understood
not until now
reaching my age of gratitude

Wishing if you were my friend
So I could share this melody
While having the red needle
Shake your hand
Embrace you to my world
Just jam with you the 6 chords
For once again

Leonard, my dear friend
You went to look for Marianne
World seems such a lonely place
Without hearing your pain
Reading your sin
Singing your heart out
To us all again

Leonard my only friend
we wish you were here
Still holding that pen
Jotting down your suffering
Which is somehow puzzling
Somewhat amusing
Yet it’s the only thing
Hurts so much
Heals as much
Where you left us to understand
The secret note left on your door
Weathered but lasting forever more

Leonard, my lonely friend
I found your tears
From a morning dew
Where you walked once before
Place that hearts felt hollow
There is smile on its reflection
singing Hallelujah

Good rest my dream friend
I found that kite
you lost before
It still holds your story
Printed on is your glory
Flying to your direction
On the tower of song

Leonard my friend
You are free now
where moon stood still in Blueberry hill
You need to sing no more
your peace is your song
We will sing it tongue to tongue
thousand years to come

The moment is frozen
In the beauty of time
Where you began with that flamenco guitarist
I’m sure you two jamming now
I’m little behind you guys, close enough to shake your hands
Leonard my never got chance to meet friend.
