Leonard Cohen - The Guests Lyrics
One by one, the guests arriveThe guests are coming throughThe open-hearted manyThe broken-hearted fewAnd no one knows where the night is goingAnd no one knows why the wine is flowingOh love I need youI need youI need youI need youOh . . . I need you nowAnd those who dance, begin to danceThose who weep beginAnd welcome, welcome cries a voiceLet all my guests come in.And no one knows where the night is going ...And all go stumbling through that houseIn lonely secrecySaying do reveal yourselfOr why has thou forsaken me?And no one knows where the night is going ...All at once the torches flareThe inner door flies openOne by one they enter thereIn every style of passionAnd no one knows where the night is going ...And here they take their sweet repastWhile house and grounds dissolveAnd one by one the guests are castBeyond the garden wallAnd no one knows where the night is going ...Those who dance, begin to danceThose who weep beginThose who earnestly are lostAre lost and lost againAnd no one knows where the night is going ...One by the guests arriveThe guests are coming throughThe broken-hearted manyThe open-hearted fewAnd no one knows where the night is going ...
