    Lyrics:
    Now in Vienna there's ten pretty women
    There's a shoulder where Death comes to cry
    There's a lobby with nine hundred windows
    There's a tree where the doves go to die
    There's a piece that was torn from the morning
    And it hangs in the Gallery of Frost
    Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
    Take this waltz, take this waltz
    Take this waltz with the clamp on it's jaws
    Oh I want you, I want you, I want you
    On a chair with a dead magazine
    In the cave at the tip of the lily
    In some hallway where love's never been
    On a bed where the moon has been sweating
    In a cry filled with footsteps and sand
    Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
    Take this waltz, take this waltz
    Take its broken waist in your hand
    This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
    With it's very own breath of brandy and Death
    Dragging it's tail in the sea
    There's a concert hall in Vienna
    Where your mouth had a thousand reviews
    There's a bar where the boys have stopped talking
    They've been sentenced to death by the blues
    Ah, but who is it climbs to your picture
    With a garland of freshly cut tears?
    Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
    Take this waltz, take this waltz
    Take this waltz it's been dying for years
    There's an attic where children are playing
    Where I've got to lie down with you soon
    In a dream of Hungarian lanterns
    In the mist of some sweet afternoon
    And I'll see what you've chained to your sorrow
    All your sheep and your lilies of snow
    Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
    Take this waltz, take this waltz
    With its "I'll never forget you, you know!"
    This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz ...
    With its very own breath of brandy and death
    Dragging its tail in the sea
    And I'll dance with you in Vienna
    I'll be wearing a river's disguise
    The hyacinth wild on my shoulder
    My mouth on the dew of your thighs
    And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook
    With the photographs there, and the moss
    And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty
    My cheap violin and my cross
    And you'll carry me down on your dancing
    To the pools that you lift on your wrist
    Oh my love, Oh my love
    Take this waltz, take this waltz
    It's yours now. It's all that there is
    {Instrumental}
    (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)

    I assume many of you already know, but for those who don't: the lyrics of this incredibly beautiful song are based on a poem ("Pequeño vals vienés") by the Spanish poet Federico García Lorca, who was killed by the Fascists in 1936. Leonard Cohen was a big fan of Lorca's poetry.

    I was lucky enough to attend several of Mr. Cohen's later concerts. It was always great, but the "best" moment was always when he introduced everyone on stage. Sometimes not even on stage, but the light and sound people too. And he always did it with such grace and respect. The world was a little bit better with him in it.

      I too am Christian with some Jewish ancestry.
      I am probably repeating myself, but I am totally mesmerized and bewitched by the 70 + year old Leonard Cohen.
      I feel I can "read" the emotion in his soul during these late in life tour performances.
      I find myself compelled to watch whilst I listen to him.
      I thought he was a magnetic talent in his earlier years, but the stirring in my soul that his later genius brings on in me is uncanny.

      Hi there, I'm Marlene (not Eddie!!!) I am so thrilled that you liked my emotion about Mr Cohen in his latter years. It's difficult to explain in words how he moves me to feel. I see and feel a tenderness and holiness radiating from his face, and indeed his very presence. The lyrics of his songs are nothing short of poetic or factual beauty.
      I am drawn to this bounteous presence like a moth to a flame. I can't stop watching and listening once I start.
      I am of advancing years and reflect on death quite a bit. When I watch Leonard (the elder) I feel relaxed and comforted about passing. As I am watching, his physical being removes my fear of death. We all know that's what awaits us at the end of this journey called life. Thank you Mr Cohen for your comfort and enlightenment. I will hold it in my heart until I say "good bye" to flesh and blood.

      I agree, Marlene. A friend of mine back when I was about 16 was into his poetry and music. I was vaguely interested in him and remembered his song "Suzanne". Then I heard Hallelujah and I was in love. He just reminds me SO much as he aged in looks and eyes and smile of someone else who was a very dear friend.

      So I continue. "Ten pretty women" is opera by Viennese composer Franz von Suppé "Zehn Mädchen und kein Mann".
      "Shoulder where Death comes to cry" is "ah, mein liber Augustin".
      "A tree where the doves go to die" is Viennese antispikes.
      "The hyacinth wild on my shoulder" reminds medieval "Roman a la Rose".
      If anybody has descript another lines of this poem I ask to write here.

    Now in Vienna there's ten pretty women
    There's a shoulder where death comes to cry
    There's a lobby with nine hundred windows
    There's a tree where the doves go to die
    There's a piece that was torn from the morning
    And it hangs in theGallery of Frost
    Aey, aey, aey, aey
    Take this waltz, take this waltz
    Take this waltz with the clamp on its jaws
    Oh I want you, I want you, I want you
    On a chair with a dead magazine
    In the cave at the tip of the lily
    In some hallway where love's never been
    On a bed where the moon has been sweating
    In a cry filled with footsteps and sand
    Aey, aey, aey, aey
    Take this waltz, take this waltz
    Take its broken waist in your hand
    This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
    With its very own breath of brandy and death
    Dragging its tail in the sea
    There's a concert hall in Vienna
    Where your mouth had a thousand reviews
    There's a bar where the boys have stopped talking
    They've been sentenced to death by the blues
    But who is it climbs to your picture
    With a garland of freshly cut tears?
    Aey, aey, aey, aey
    Take this waltz, take this waltz
    Take this waltz it's been dying for years
    There's an attic where children are playing
    Where I've got to lie down with you soon
    In a dream of Hungarian lanterns
    In the mist of some sweet afternoon
    And I'll see what you've chained to your sorrow
    All your sheep and your lilies of snow
    Aey, aey, aey, aey
    Take this waltz, take this waltz
    With its, I'll never forget you, you know
    This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
    With its very own breath of brandy and death
    Dragging its tail in the sea
    And I'll dance with you in Vienna
    I'll be wearing a river's disguise
    The hyacinth wild on my shoulder
    My mouth on the dew of your thighs
    And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook
    With the photographs there, and the moss
    And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty
    My cheap violin and my cross
    And you'll carry me down on your dancing
    To the pools that you lift on your wrist
    Oh my love, oh my love
    Take this waltz, take this waltz
    It's yours now, it's all that there is
    Aey, aey, aey, aey
