So long, marrianne
Leonard Cohen Lyrics
So long, marrianne Lyrics
So long, marrianne by Leonard Cohen
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.
CHORUS:
So Long, Marrianne, 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.
Repeat 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 were kneeling through the dark.
Repeat chorus
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.
Repeat chorus
For now I need your hidden love
I'm cold as new razor blade
You left when I told you I was curious
I never said that I was brave.
Repeat chorus
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
mountain side
To wash my eyelids in the rain.
Repeat chorus
