The Guests

Leonard Cohen

by Plaisir@虾米网

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,
And 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 through 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 love, I need you,
I need you,
I need you,
I need you, oh,
I need you now,

All at one the torches flare,
The inner door flies open,
One by one, they enter there,
In every style of passion,

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 here they take their sweet repast,
While house and grounds dissolve,
And one by one the guests are cast,
Beyond the garden wall,

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,

Those who dance, begin to dance,
Those who weep begin,
Those who earnestly are lost,
Are lost and lost again,

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,

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