A manual for living with defeat

Full lyrics HERE.

Those are the most hard-hitting lyrics Cohen ever wrote.

The idea of "home" is something that's a little alien to me.

I know I've told you this before:  I dropped out of school in the tenth grade, and I had been in twelve different schools.  Every few months my parents would tear me away from all that was familiar and plunk me down in a new location with new people and new expectations.

I never felt settled.  I still don't.

Any song that has home in it grabs my attention.  "I have no home."  "I'm going home."

It's something I've always yearned for and will never have.
