Текст песни So Long, Marianne (Live) - Leonard Cohen

Won't you come over to the window, my little darling
I'd like to try to read your palm
You know 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

Well you know, 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, it's time that we began
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again

How we met when was it, we were almost young
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, it's time that we began
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
Instrumental

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

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

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

Oh, you are really such a pretty one
I see you've gone and changed your names again
And just when I climbed this whole 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
Oh, oh, so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
