I only discovered this song after finding out that 1977's "When I Need You" (hit for Leo Sayer, written by Albert Hammond) was very similar in one place, and an out-of-court settlement had to be reached. Now I've heard the Leonard Cohen track, I think the judgement was very harsh, there's one line with a similar melody. Mind you, I've now found Leonard Cohen's back catalogue so I'm off to buy this album!
I let the love of my life go because of one act of infidelity. If only I could have forgiven her. I'm in my sixties now --- its' nearly 30 years later -- and dream of her two or three times a week without fail. What a fool I was, and the song reminds me of how life can go on -- albeit with pain -- if one can forgive.

thank you, i hope his soul is at peace and is safe,i just saw mr cohen in dublin,he sang famous blue raincoat so beautiful, hard to believe i seen him over 20 years ago in front of 500 people and the man still kills you with his songs. he recited a thousand kisses deep, i never really liked the song but the man is a poet, and finally it dawns on you how good he is.

Mr Cohen was never married either. This song is about letting go or not being able to let go. The later is my infliction.
