Hallelujah

its all shaking down
the leaves on the trees
the smell of smoke
on a summer breeze
when there isn't mercy
there to please
all love is lost
like the winter freeze
like castaways
on seven seas
life's lonely lot
in minor keys
Hallelujah

thanks folks, not much to rejoice to there SM, but that's the peak lyric in Leonard's song I was humming to. Ironic!

Oh..beautiful Lenny, my spiritual friend smitten

Nice to hear that he's inspired so many..

Apparently, he had written 80 verses to that song.
I suppose, we can still add a few more?
