So Long, Marianne

In the style of

Leonard Cohen

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 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 we began to laugh

and cry, and cry
and laugh about it all again

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 to laugh

and cry, and cry

and laugh about it all again

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 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

oh, 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 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 to laugh

and cry, and cry

and laugh about it all again
