I dearly love this song both Leonard Cohen's and also Jeff Buckley's version..this sounds hard but fascinating. Maybe I'll give it a try...

It's only as hard as the quality you want to extend to it... Deb...and your awesome sense of Rhyme...tells me you are already half way there!

You are on, Frank :-). The late Jeff Buckley's rendition is my fav - the angles stand still to listen when he starts singing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8AWFf7EAc4
