    Wish I could upvote you twice. I love Cohen, but hadn’t heard this track. This is so good I had to go find the full lyrics:

    Here is your crown
    And your seal and rings
    Here is your love
    For all things
    Here is your cart
    Your cardboard and piss
    And here is your love
    For all of this
    May everyone live
    May everyone die
    Hello, my love
    And my love, goodbye
    (Here It Is)
    (Here It Is)
    Here is your wine
    And your drunken fall
    Here is your love
    Your love for it all
    Here is your sickness
    Your bed and your pan
    Here is your love
    For the woman, the man
    May everyone live
    May everyone die
    Hello, my love
    And, my love, goodbye
    (Here It Is)
    (Here It Is)
    And here is the night
    The night has begun
    And here is your death
    In the heart of your son
    And here is the dawn
    Until death do us part
    And here is your death
    In your daughter’s heart
    May everyone live
    And may everyone die
    Hello, my love
    And, my love, goodbye
    (And may everyone live)
    (May everyone die)
    Hello, my love
    And my love, goodbye
    (Here It Is)
    (Here It Is)
    And here you are hurried
    And here you are gone
    And here is the love
    It’s all built upon
    Here is your cross
    Your nails and your hill
    And here is the love
    That lists where it will
    May everyone live
    And may everyone die
    Hello, my love
    And my love, goodbye
    And may everyone live
    May everyone die
    Hello, my love
    And my love, goodbye
    (Here It Is)
