The Marriage March Lyrics - Cohen Leonard

(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
