Текст песни Introduction (Live) - 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.
I don't want anyone to get alarmed,
i know you probabaly have never seen
any of this before, but it goes by itself.
