Intro :          I fought against the bottle  but I had to do it drunk       Took my diamond to the pawnshop  but that don't make it junk       I know that I'm forgiven but I don't know how I know       I don't trust my inner feelings inner feelings come and go         How come you called me here tonight? And how come you bother with my heart at all?   You raise me up in grace Then you put me in a place where I must fall Too late to fix another drink the lights are goin' out        I'll just listen to the darkness sing I know what that's about           I tried to love you my way     but I couldn't make it hold   So I closed the book of longing and I do what I am told How come you called me here tonight? And how come you bother with my heart at all?   You raise me up in grace Then you put me in a place where I must fall I fought against the bottle  but I had to do it drunk       Took my diamond to the pawnshop  but that don't make it junk  That don't make it junk  that don't make it junk

Dear Heather

Leonard Cohen

Cette chanson aborde la lutte intérieure d'une personne face à ses démons, notamment l'alcool et les échecs amoureux. Il exprime un sentiment de résignation, où l'auteur admet avoir perdu le contrôle tout en cherchant un sens à sa souffrance. L'image du diamant mis en gage évoque la valeur perdue, soulignant que même des choses précieuses peuvent sembler sans valeur dans des moments de faiblesse. On ressent aussi une interrogation profonde sur l'appel de l'autre et la grâce reçue, même si cette dernière semble limitée par le sentiment de chute inévitable. Au fond, il s'agit d'une réflexion sur la fragilité de l’existence humaine et la quête de rédemption dans les relations.
