Leonard Cohen




The Guests

One by one, the guests arrive
The guests are coming through
The open-hearted many
The broken-hearted few

And no one knows where the night is going
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
Oh, love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, oh
I need you now

And those who dance, begin to dance
Those who weep begin
And "welcome, welcome" cries a voice
"Let all my guests come in"

And no one knows where the night is going
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
Oh, love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, oh
I need you now

And all go stumbling through that house
In lonely secrecy
Saying "do reveal yourself"
Or "why has thou forsaken me?"

And no one knows where the night is going
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
Oh, loveā€¦
