Leonard Cohen - The Marriage March lyrics

(Written By Cohen, Performed In "Night Magic") (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
