The Great Event - Leonard Cohen

 

The Great Event 

Song by Leonard Cohen


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
