Leonard Cohen — So Long Marianne Tour of 1979

Won't you come over to the window, my little darling I'd like to try to read your palm You know I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boy Before I let you take me home So long, Marianne It's time that we began To laugh and cry And cry and laugh About it all again Well, you know I'd 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 So long, Marianne It's time that we began To laugh and cry And cry and laugh About it all again Oh, we met - when was it? - we were almost young It was down by the green lilac park You held on to me like I was a crucifix As we went kneeling through the dark So long, Marianne It's time that we began To laugh and cry And cry and laugh About it all again [Violin solo] So long, Marianne It's time that 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 Did I ever say that I was brave? 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 perfect one I see you've gone and changed your names again And just when I climbed this whole mountainside To wash my eyelids in that rain So long, Marianne It's time that we began To laugh and cry And cry and laugh About it all again So long, Marianne It's time that we began To laugh and cry And cry and laugh About it all again
