Leonard Cohen Marianne Lyrics

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 boybefore I let you take me home.Now so
long, Marianne, it's time that we beganto 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 angelsand then
the angels forget to pray for us.Now so long,
Marianne, it's time that we began ...We met
when we were almost youngdeep in the green lilac park.You held on to me like I was a crucifix,as we went
kneeling through the dark.Oh so long, Marianne,
it's time that we began ...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
webis fastening my ankle to a stone.Now so
long, Marianne, it's time that we began ...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 so long, Marianne,
it's time that we began ...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!Oh
so long, Marianne, it's time that we began ...
