I Wonder How Many People In This City
by Leonard Cohen
I wonder how many people in this city
live in furnished rooms.
Late at night when I look out at the buildings
I swear I see a face in every window
looking back at me,
and when I turn away
I wonder how many go back to their desks
and write this down.

Thanks. A favourite since I was 17. It often goes through my head when I see lit windows in houses & apartment buildings at night. That's nearly 50 years of poetic resonance in one brain.
