Текст песни Cohen, Leonard - So Long Marianne

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 sort 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
                                      sus4   
and then the angels forget to pray for us

We met when we were almost young 
                         A 
 deep in the green lilac park
 You held on to me like I was a crucifix
   as we went kneeling through the dark

Your letters they all say that you're beside me now
 then why do I feel so alone
 I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
is fastening my ankle to a stone

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, you are really such a pretty one
                                   A 
 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

[I found this extra verse written out somewhere. Not on the original recording from the Best Of... Disc]

Oh, your eyes, well, I forget your eyes
 your body's at home in every sea
 How come you gave away your news to everyone
   that you said was a secret to me
