Leonard Cohen - Roshi Said Lyrics

1.
Roshi said:

Jikan san, there's something I want you to
know

yes, Roshi

you are the worst student I've ever had

2.
I disappeared for ten years.
When I came back to Los Angeles
Roshi invited me for dinner.
After dinner Roshi wanted to see me
alone.

Roshi said:

When you left half of me died.

I said:

I don't believe you.

Roshi said:
Good answer.

3.
During Roshi's sex scandal (he was 105)
my association with Roshi
was often mentioned in the newspaper
reports.

Roshi said:

I give you lots of trouble.

I said:

Yes, Roshi, you give me
lots of trouble.

Roshi said:

I should die.

I said:

It won't help.

Roshi didn't laugh.
