Leonard Cohen - So Long, Marianne Lyrics
Come over to the window, my little darling,Id like to try to read you palmI used to think I was some kind of gypsy boyBefore I let you take me home.Chorus: so long marianne, its time that we beganTo laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all againWell, you know that I love to live with you,But you make me forget so very muchI forget to pray for the angelAnd then the angels forget to pray for us.ChorusWe met when we were almost youngDeep in the green lilac parkYou held on to me like I was a crucifixAs we went kneeling through the dark.ChorusYour letters say that you are beside me nowThen why do I feel alone?Im standing on a ledge and your fine spider webIs fastening my ankle to a stone.ChorusFor now I need your hidden loveIm cold as a new razor bladeYou left when I told you I was curiousI never said that I was brave.ChorusO you are really such a pretty oneI see youve gone and changed your name againAnd just when I climbed this whole mountainsideTo wash my eyelids in the rain.Chorus
