So long, Marianne - Leonard Cohen

Won´t you come over to the window, my little darling,
I'd like to try to read your palm.
I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boy
before I let you take me home.
So long, Marianne, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

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.

So long, Marianne ...

We met when we were almost young.
It was down by the green lilac park.
You held on to me like I was a crucifix
as we went kneeling through the dark.

So long, Marianne ...

For now I need your hidden love.
I'm cold as a new razor blade.
You left when I told you I was curious.
Did I ever say that I was brave?

So long, Marianne ...

You are really such a pretty one.
I see you've gone and changed your name again.
And just when I climbed this mountainside
to wash my eyelids in the rain.

So long, Marianne, it's time that we began to laugh and cry and cry
and laugh about it all again.
