So Long Marianne

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

It's time that 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

And cry and cry and laugh about it all again

Your letters,…

And it hangs in the Gallery of Frost

I, I-I-I

Take this waltz, take this waltz

Take this waltz with the clamp on its jaws

Oh, I want you, I want you, I want you

On a chair with a dead magazine

In the cave at the tip of the lilly

In some hallway where love's never been

On a bed where the moon has been sweating

In a cry filled with footsteps and sand

I, I-I-I

Take this waltz, take this waltz

Take its broken waist in your hand

This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz

With its very own breath of brandy and Death

Dragging its tail in the sea

There's…
