Heard this during a program, looked it up,
adapted for Q.
From the Leonard Cohen album
"Songs of love and hate".
Wikipedia;
"Avalanche" is a song by Leonard Cohen. It appears on his third album, Songs of Love and Hate, released in 1971.
The lyrics are based on a poem he had previously written. He acknowledged in a 1992 interview with Paul Zollo that his "chop", his unique pattern of playing classical guitar, is behind many of his early songs, and this one features Cohen's trademark fast, syncopated classical guitar pattern as the accompaniment on the recording of the song.

@joyceishere Thanks Joyce. He was different, I was told about him, way back, when AOL was the connection. As much as I like his work, there is so much more to hear, such as what I hear, here.

Do you know whether he lives a deep south southern home....this so his home is not 'cohen-side' during winter months? Is that a clever question or WHAT? Don't answer unless you're nice! A weird, dreary melody song. Interesting and you've now made it yours and he doesn't 'carrhen'! I've never spent enough time on his material to understand what he's all about. Still, I enjoyed your work, if you 'cohen' any.

@jerry I am very Co-hear-en, T. I like them, most, as they are deep and often dark. I like the dark, I listen to the dark and it en-lightens me. I hope you will enjoy the next L. Cohen. It's a diversion from Tom but I shall be returning to Tom. Thank you, in advance and for the past too.

As noted above, this song has a lot of dark. My dancing shoes ran for the closet. So you think this might make it as a party song? Maybe one of those with a cauldron in the middle and spooks flying around. Interest piece Q..
