Leonard Cohen - So Long, Marianne
|
Come over to the window, my little darling
|
|
I'd like to try to read your palm
|
|
I used to think I was somekind of Gypsy boy
|
|
Before I let you take me home
|
|
Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
|
|
To laugh and cry and
|
|
cry and laugh about it all again
|
|
Well you know that I love to live with you
|
|
But you make me forget so very much
|
|
I forget to pray for the angels
|
|
And then the angels forget
|
|
to pray for us
|
|
We met when we were almost young
|
|
Deep in the green lilac park
|
|
You held on to me like I was a crucifix
|
|
As we went kneeling through the dark
|
|
Your letters they all say
|
|
that you're beside me now
|
|
Then why do I feel alone?
|
|
I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
|
|
Is fastening my ankle to a stone
|
|
For now I need your hidden love
|
|
I'm cold as a new razor blade
|
|
You left when I told you I was curious
|
|
I never said that I was brave
|
|
Oh, you are really such a pretty one
|
|
I see you've gone and changed your name again
|
|
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside
|
|
To wash my eyelids in the rain
