CHAPTER :
I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO ASK YOU...

I think my favorite song of yours is Bird on a Wire. My favorite recording other than yours is that by Willie Nelson. I play a silly game with my husband whenever this song comes on and I ask him "do you think Leonard meant this as a love song or a prayer?" He thinks it a silly question. I have come to think of it as a rather silly question also. But I want to ask anyway: Did you write Bird on a Wire as a prayer or a love song?

    Many love songs are prayers. I am confident Leonard Cohen would have understood this.
