  • Words & music by leonard cohen
  • Come over to the window, my little darling,
  • Id 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, its 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, its 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, its time that we began ...
  • Your letters they all say that youre beside me now.
  • Then why do I feel alone?
  • Im standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
  • Is fastening my ankle to a stone.
  • Now so long, marianne, its time that we began ...
  • For now I need your hidden love.
  • Im 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, its time that we began ...
  • Oh, you are really such a pretty one.
  • I see youve 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, its time that we began ...
