[introduction] Songtext
von Leonard Cohen

Thank you so much friends
I was having a drink with my old teacher
He is 102 now
And this was, he was just, about 97 at that time And I pour him a drink and
He clicked my glass and said
Excuse me for not dying
And i kind feel the same way

I want to thank you not just for this evening
But for the many years you′ve kept my songs alive
I really appreaciate it
