It is not the songs I miss the most,
though certain ones moved me to tears:
"Danny Boy" or "So Long, Marianne" by Leonard Cohen
to name but two. Now I feel like a ghost
remembering conversations I had,
football talk with the lads in the break
and the blonde I may never see anymore,
it's night-time, I'm feeling sad
recalling how the choir relaxed my mind
singing from the heart only months ago
yet it seems like a century
that all those voices were left behind
and the church weeps in the rain
watching the urban streets with sombre eyes
as I wait and yearn to return
to sing Leonard Cohen...once again.
