Leonard Cohen Night Magic - The Marriage March Lyrics

Night Magic - The Marriage March Lyrics

(Everyone) The whole work holds its breath again 

The marriage ring it
shines 

The billionth trillionth walk begins 

As another world
sighs 

Sights and best of wishes and 

A silence you can hear 

The vow that breaks the world are spoke 

And the whole world sheds a
tear 



(Beggar) Out of the joy of your marriage feast 

O
brother be good to me 

The way is long and the shrine is far 

Where
my weary feet would be 

And feasting is always somewhat sad 

To
those outside the door 

Still love is only a dream 

And life itself
is hardly more 



(Everyone) The human company draws close 

And
lends an ear 

The vows that break the world are spoke 

As the whole
world sheds a tear 



The vows that break the world 

And the
whole world sheds a tear
