[00:01.22]The Guests - Leonard Cohen
[00:08.02]One by one, the guests arrive
[00:13.82]The guests are coming through
[00:16.96]
[00:20.02]The open-hearted many
[00:25.14]The broken-hearted few
[00:29.38]And no one knows where the night is going
[00:33.84]And no one knows why the wine is flowing
[00:40.58]Oh love I need you
[00:44.35]I need you
[00:45.42]I need you
[00:46.54]I need you
[00:48.04]Oh . . . I need you now
[00:58.49]
[01:00.17]And those who dance, begin to dance
[01:04.54]
[01:05.60]Those who weep begin
[01:07.53]
[01:09.78]And "Welcome, welcome" cries a voice
[01:14.59]
[01:15.84]"Let all my guests come in."
[01:18.22]
[01:20.25]And no one knows where the night is going ...
[01:34.65]
[01:50.53]And all go stumbling through that house
[01:54.46]in lonely secrecy
[02:00.63]Saying "Do reveal yourself"
[02:04.68]or "Why has thou forsaken me?"
[02:09.99]And no one knows where the night is going ...
[02:19.54]
[02:33.81]All at once the torches flare
[02:45.05]The inner door flies open
[02:48.60]
[02:49.85]One by one they enter there
[02:54.84]In every style of passion
[02:58.77]And no one knows where the night is going ...
[03:04.14]
[03:21.01]And here they take their sweet repast
[03:32.10]While house and grounds dissolve
[03:37.59]And one by one the guests are cast
[03:41.71]Beyond the garden wall
[03:45.33]
[03:46.64]And no one knows where the night is going ...
[03:52.19]
[04:16.28]Those who dance, begin to dance
[04:21.15]Those who weep begin
[04:26.08]Those who earnestly are lost
[04:29.88]Are lost and lost again
[04:34.94]And no one knows where the night is going ...
[04:40.24]
[05:03.70]One by the guests arrive
[05:08.75]The guests are coming through
[05:13.81]The broken-hearted many
[05:16.68]The open-hearted few
[05:22.67]And no one knows where the night is going ...
