Diamonds in the Lines : Leonard Cohen in his own live words

The Window (1979-)

München 31/10/79

This is another song; it's from my new album: it's called "The Window". It's a kind of prayer, (joining his hands) to bring the two parts of the Soul together. It's called "The Window"....

Hanover 11/11/79

It's a song that is based on an old Persian poem that says "Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love, O tangle of matter and ghost, O darling of angels, demons and saints. This is the first time I ever said it. I always sung it before. It's a song called "The Window".
