@Lmotleygirl I think it's "where did the old *poet* go" but I still agree, the town I picture when I listen to this song, with its empty harbour and its orthodox church, looks strangely like our Old Port.
And I wholeheartedly concur, another Montreal concert would be really wonderful!
Well. I, like Leonard am from Canada, Victoria BC and if Mr. Cohen doesn't accept I will be willing to be a proxy. I know you're coming here so you can come to my parents house and have dinner (my Dad is a chef) then we can go to your show. haha.

aw man, the line 'where did the old port go?' makes me think of the Old Port here in Montreal.
Leonard Cohen should visit people more. hell, i'd settle for seeing him on the street one of these days.
Ms. Mitchell, you should come to Montreal to play for us sometime this year!1 it would make the montreal winter less cold.

Dear Anais Mitchell,
If you ever do a show in Prague or in the UK - I invite to dinner.
Your music has been such an inspiration to me,
Peace,
