@[Meryam:36702] Leonard Cohen does not capitalize without intention. The word "Lord" is capitalized in the line Alexandra leaving with her Lord. What do you make of that? |

@[puckwuk:36700] Just a note to point out that Cohen never capitalizes without intention. "Lord" is capitalized in this song - as in Alexandra leaving with her Lord. |

Thank you so much. That was beautiful. Would you care to explain your own songs so clearly? |

To me this song personifies unfulfilled longing, the kind men don't usually write about their wives. I have always assumed it was about Joan Baez. Not that it matters. All women wish it was written about them. But if I were a married man, having laid out my passion for another woman, I too would write that it was about my wife. I'm just sayin'. |

There are people who can see things most others cannot. Maybe it only happens once. This song is not a metaphor. I think it is quite literal.
When someone sees the death of a loved one, it, may be difficult to speak of for fear of disbelief or scorn. As powerful and beautiful and real experience was, the temptation is to deny it, even to oneself. Do not stoop to strategies like this.
This song is about the passing of a loved one and the one who was lucky enough to see it.
