Leonard Cohen songs are epic stories. I've never heard that song before, so thanks for the reference.
I once read a musical artist (I can't remember who) say that he intentionally doesn't print lyrics because he wants listeners to find meaning in their own individual ways. I kinda like that, even though I always want to decipher lyrics when I hear a song.
Correct me if I'm wrong, Spamlet. Are you interpreting that the stranger is his object of affection, whom he doesn't/does want to change?
