Obviously, that wasn’t the last time Leonard Cohen would utter those words. Those words were delivered by Leonard Cohen with all the gravelly, baritone weight of Absolute Finality during his late-set “recitation” of the updated poem “A Thousand Kisses Deep” at Toronto’s Sony Centre on June 6, 2008. Indeed, he’d been stating in interviews here and there all year long that he still had at least another album’s worth of songs ready to go. Cohen is too crafty a poet to give up what’s really on his mind that easily. Perhaps Leonard Cohen isn’t totally “out of the game” yet, perhaps he really is about to say goodbye.
