Leonard Cohen nasceu em Montreal, província de Quebec, Canadá, de uma família judia de origem polaca. A sua infância foi marcada pela morte de seu pai quando Cohen tinha apenas 9 anos, fato que seria determinante para o desenvolvimento de uma depressão que o acompanharia durante boa parte da vida. Aos 17 anos, ingressa na Universidade McGill e forma um trio de música country. Paralelamente, passa a escrever seus primeiros poemas, inspirado por autores como García Lorca.

DGD / DGD /
DGD I went down to the place where I knew she lay waiting GA Under the marble and the snow DGD I said Mother I'm frightened the thunder and the lightning GA I'll never come through this alone GCGC She said I'll be with you my shawl wrapped around you GCG My hand on your head when you go DAmFC And the night came on it was very calm, I wanted the night to go on and on GDGD / But she said go back, go back to the world
DGD We were fighting in Egypt when they signed this agreement GA That nobody else had to die DGD There was this terrible sound and my father went down GA With a terrible wound in his side GCGC He said try to go on take my books take my gun GCG Remember my son how they lied DAm And the night comes on it's very calm FC I'd like to pretend that my father was wrong GDGD / But you don't want to lie, not to the young
DGD We were locked in this kitchen I took to religion GA And I wondered how long she would stay DGDGA I needed so much to have nothing to touch, I've always been greedy that way GCGC But my son and my daughter climbed out of the water GCG Crying Papa you promised to play DAm And they lead me away to the great surprise FC It's Papa don't peek, Papa cover your eyes GDGD / And they hide, they hide in the world
DGD Now I look for her always I'm lost in this calling GA I'm tied to the threads of some prayer DGD Saying when will she summon me when will she come to me GA What must I do to prepare GCGC When she bends to my longing like a willow like a fountain GCG She stands in the luminous air DAm And the night comes on it's very calm FC I lie in her arms, she says when I'm gone GDGD / I'll be yours, yours for a song
DGD Now the crickets are singing, the vesper bells ringing GA The cat's curled asleep in his chair DGD I'll go down to Bill's Bar, I can make it that far GA And I'll see if my friends are still there GCGC Yes and here's to the few who forgive what you do GCG And the fewer who don't even care DAm And the night comes on, it's very calm FC I want to cross over I want to go home GDGD / But she says go back, go back to the world G / / / / / / / D G D / D G D
