We're all leaving...

We're all leaving

even the ones who stay behind

We're all leaving in our own time

lyrics: Karine Polwart, photo: me

No-one knows where the night is going...

One by one, the guests arrive

The guests are coming through

The broken-hearted many

The open-hearted few

And those who dance, begin to dance

Those who weep begin

And "Welcome, welcome" cries a voice

"Let all my guests come in".

- Leonard Cohen, Let The Guests Come In

Oh where are you going and can I come with you?

Oh where are you going

and can I come with you,

and what is your method

for keeping alive:

no pack or possessions,

no clothing or shelter,

no food to sustain you -

how can you survive?

- John Bell, in "Heaven Shall Not Wait" music book
