And you want to travel with herand you want to travel blindand you know that she will trust youfor you’ve touched her perfect bodywith your mind
This was Cohen’s first hit. It is about the wife of a friend who he admired but couldn’t touch. That led to the wonderful lyric “I touched her perfect body with my mind”. So at 32 a Canadian poet who couldn’t read music became a star.
This is what he looks like now!
I absolutely LOVE Leonard Cohen!!!!! His words have so much meaning, the music is sensuous, and he is a fabulous performer. And I'd like him even if I weren't a Canadian.
ReplyDeleteYes, He is a very good performer. And it is surprising, after so many years, how the words to that song, stick with you!
