@edmund184 I've always thought it had some reference to the Canadian poet Irving Layton.He and Cohen were close at one time; not sure if Layton had anything to do in particular to Cohen's relationship problems, but probably did with many other people they both knew.He was quite a pig-headed ladies man was Layton.One of the main characters in Cohen's novel "Beautiful Losers" is a very apt characterization of Layton. Layton died in the 90's I think, but by that point they hadn't spoken in years

Leonard Cohen is brilliant; and this version is one of the best.
Was it written about someone in particular?

@edmund184
Don`t know about that. I will have to Google it.

@edmund184 -- It is allegedly based on a true love triangle between Cohen and another man, though in a BBC interview he admitted to having forgotten exactly who originally inspired it. Perhaps ultimately a mashup of experiences?
Wikipedia's article about it is called Famous_Blue_Raincoat.
