Tekst piosenki
Words & music by leonard cohen
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
Now 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 angels and then the angels forget to pray for us
Now so long, marianne, it’s time that we began …
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
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 web
Is 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 …
