I think Cohen's a prophet - his music and writings have stress a longing for the spiritual. Did you go to the link and read the article?

Cohen gave that library speech almost 50 years ago...before his first song was recorded. It was the speech of a young man who felt his current religious leaders were putting God in a small box... and expressed his desire and longing for a more authentic closeness with God.

I didn’t propose that singing either Cohen’s lyrics or the Song of Songs in Church is appropriate.

Your post is known as a straw man.

Yes, I believe the song is about ‘the girl he never found’...or she's a metaphor for distance from the Divine...
