Leonard Cohen - So Long, Marianne lyrics

Come over to the window, my little darling, I'd like to try to read you palm I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boy Before I let you take me home. Chorus: 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 angel And then the angels forget to pray for us. Chorus 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. Chorus Your letters say that you are 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. Chorus 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. Chorus O 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. Chorus
