Here It Is Lyrics


Here it is
Here it is
Here it is
Here it isHere is your crown
And your seal and rings
Here is your love
For all thingsHere is your cart
Your cardboard and piss
And here is your love
For all of thisMay everyone live
May everyone die
Hello, my love
And my love, goodbyeHere it is
Here it isHere is your wine
And your drunken fall
And here is your love
Your love for it allHere is your sickness
Your bed and your pan

And here is your love
For the woman, the manMay everyone live
May everyone die
Hello, my love
And, my love, goodbyeHere it is
Here it isAnd here is the night
The night has begun
And here is your death
In the heart of your sonAnd here is the dawn
Until death do us part
And here is your death
In your daughters heartMay everyone live
And may everyone die
Hello, my love
And, my love, goodbyeAnd may everyone live
May everyone die
Hello, my love
And, my love, goodbyeHere it is
Here it isHere you are hurried
And here you are gone
And here is the love
Its all built uponHere is your cross
Your nails and your hill
And here is the love
That lists where it willMay everyone live
Now may everyone die
Hello, my love
And my love, goodbyeAnd may everyone live
And may everyone die
Hello, my love
And my love, goodbyeHere it is
Here it is
Here it is
Here it is
Here it is
Here it is

Leonard Cohen, (born 21st September 1934 in Montréal, Quebec, Canada) is a poet, novelist and musician. His musical career has largely overshadowed his prior work as a poet and novelist, although he has continued to publish poetry sporadically after his breakthrough in the music industry. His first published book of poetry was Let Us Compare Mythologies (1956).

Musically, Cohen's early songs are based in folk music, in terms of both melody and instrumentation; from the 1970s, though, his work begins to show the influence of various types of popular and cabaret music. Since the 1980s he has typically sung in a deep bass register, accompanied by synthesisers and female backing vocals.

Despite not embarking on a tour since 1993, Cohen was forced to go on the road in 2008, following the alleged misappropriation of over U.S. $5 million from his retirement by his longtime former manager, Kelley Lynch. This left him close to bankruptcy and Cohen's mammoth world tour lasted two and a half years and included 246 shows.

Cohen's songs are often emotionally heavy and lyrically complex, owing more to the metaphoric word play of poetry than to established conventions of songcraft. His work often explores the themes of religion, isolation, and complex interpersonal relationships.

Cohen's music has become highly influential to other singer-songwriters, and more than a thousand cover versions of his works have been recorded. He is also popular in his native land, having been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and awarded the Order of Canada, the nation's highest civilian honour.
