Leonard Cohen - The Great Event lyrics
[Leonard Cohen - The Great Event lyrics]
It's going to happen very soon
The great event, which will end the horror
Which will end the sorrow
Next Tuesday when the sun goes down
I will play the Moonlight Sonata backwards
This will reverse the effects of
The world's mad plunge into suffering
For the last 200 million years
What a lovely night that will be
What a sigh of relief as the senile robins
Become bright red again
And the retired nightingales
Pick up their dusty tails
And assert the Majesty of Creation
The great event, which will end the horror
Which will end the sorrow
Next Tuesday when the sun goes down
I will play the Moonlight Sonata backwards
This will reverse the effects of
The world's mad plunge into suffering
For the last 200 million years
What a lovely night that will be
What a sigh of relief as the senile robins
Become bright red again
And the retired nightingales
Pick up their dusty tails
And assert the Majesty of Creation
