Leonard Cohen Lyrics for Song: The Marriage March
 Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Leonard Cohen
 
 
 
 29970>(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
