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 would 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
