Leonard Cohen - So Long Marianne 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
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 that we began ...
We met when we were almost young
deep in the green lilac park.
as we went kneeling through the dark.
Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began ...
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 that we began ...
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 ...
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 ...

Man this guy could write! Courtney Barnett does a beautiful version of this song. It's perfect for her.
I remember my mom on our red sofa crying to this song right before she broke up with my dad, I could have been six or seven. Now I am on the edge of tears, sitting on my red sofa in my flat, broken up with a month ago. Seems like everything comes full circle.
Leonard was punk rock before punk rock!
For all of you that came after "This is us". Leonard has a lot of other great songs, please look him up
I'm glad to see all these new fans. Be sure to check out some other of Leonard Cohen's songs.

This is Us season 4!!!
Too bad Jack ruined a chance for him and Nicky to cry and laugh about it all again. :( I have always loved Leonard Cohen but I love him even more (if that´s even possible) after this week´s This Is Us!
This is us is such an incredible show with beautiful music.
Thank you, Uncle Nick!
Is that Adam Sandler?
Watching THIS IS US... paused the show after Randall re-explained what his Dad told him about the song and Uncle Nick teared up. I stopped the show right there!!!! I immediately came here to find this song..wow...ok... I'm going to continue watching now!
This is Us brought me here!
Here because of This Is Us
Thanks For This Is us ... I can related to this song
Nicky is probably my favorite character. He has so much substance compared to the other characters (no offense—I do love them all).
this is us me fez vim aqui
This Is Us S04E09
damn it! THIS IS US has me in emotional overdrive again. My eyes haven't been this wet in many, many years.
LEONARD COHEN... SAW HIM IN NORFOLK AREA OVER FIFTY YEARS AGO.. IS MY FAVORITE OF ALL TIME..
"This is Us" never disappoints with playing good music on their episodes.
Amen!!!!
If this is us brought you here, don’t stop. Leonard has a lot to offer. SUZZANE live is one of my favorites.
I hD mixed feelings about this airing on this is us. I held it as a gem. Oh well.
This song speaks the truth in many ways. The tv show This is Us brought it back.
This Is Us brought me here....strange that I never heard this back in ‘68
This Is Us brought me here...Strange I never heard this back in ‘68
Thank you, This Is Us, for bringing me here.....so sad and beautiful at the same time ♥️💔
My nostalgia, life and love for Cohen brought me here, again. Nevertheless, it is lovely to see how great tv shows reminds us great songs (Yep, I also watch This is us).
I hope she went back to him and they laughed together again... 😪

Well, here I am, thanks to This is Us last night's episode.
Never heard this song before. Now, it'll stay in my mind for a long time...
PS : seeing Rebecca completely broke me down (give Mandy all the prizes that exist please) so now I want to lay down, cry and tell everyone how much I love them. So long, ego and pride.
Needed to hear the full song after seeing Uncle Nicky tear up when listening to this song on This is Us. You were never erased, always loved Nicky
Me too!
This is us
“ This is Us” brought me here, and I am in utter shock that I have lived 40 years without knowing of this incredible song.
Ansley Burgess Same! 29 for me. Thank you uncle Nicky🖤
It's never too late for mister Leonard ;-)
Uncle Nicky Pearson brought me here. Jack didn’t erase him🖤
Me too!!!
@Mayara Albuquerque I can't believe you already watched all the episodes... sksksksk
i cried so hard on that episode
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Anyone else here from This is Us season finale? Also, spoilers, Kate is totally gonna file a divorce just because she hates having a husband who isn’t down at her level 🤦🏼♂️
I can't stand Tobey anymore. I liked him more in the beginning.
Had to listen to this song after tonight's this is us...that scene definitely made me tear up
Me too!💔
lots of tears here. This has dug up so many emotions I thought were long gone.
@Hamida Sanford that broke me! I lost it right there!
Jim Fraser me too. It’s such a bittersweet moment because he’s reminded of his long lost beloved brother...who died without him even knowing😢 and all the memories of him being in Vietnam. That alone is a recipe for breaking.
i cried so hard
Anyone here after This Is Us?
i cried so hard
This is Us brought me here
Ditto. Remember playing this album til I wore it out. Waxing nostalgia and recalling times long gone but not forgotten. Happy Thanksgiving!
'This Is Us' brought me here.
Me too! I love uncle Nicky! Love this song..
This scene brought me to tears
watching now. definitely in tears.

Leonard Cohen: A true musical genius. You’ll be missed.
This was one of my younger cousin's fave songs. He died of a drug OD in 2003 at the age of 32. We used to listen to this song all the time in the early eighties.
Bellissima canzone, fa riaffiorare sentimenti profondi!
Really sad that I only discovered him years after he died. I remember seeing the news of his death on tv
Legend.....
RIP IN PEACE GREAT FRIEND ! WE DO MISS YOU !
I've gone off you after 30 years,.
my god when that drum really kicks in... 'you left when i told you i was curious, i never said that i was brave' ...utterly sublime
Pirate Radio and Pete's Dragon brought me here.
First heard this song in 1996 when I met my ex wife. Used to listen to it loads, and it reminds me of the good times with her. So I guess now it's more meaningful than ever. So long to my ex.
IS this drinking music?
You need music and poetry to feel things, and this makes you feel things.
Hey GINGER!
From Pete's Dragon
RIP Leonard Cohen
My first love played this when we started dating this is a sentimental one

You can never leave, not while I am still alive.
So Long Leonard.Thank you.
He had such a nack for assembling a child's choir together and it sounded like angels. Very heavenly!
Einer meiner Lieblingssongs ........nur für Dich !!
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 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
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 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
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.
I was not, am not, and never will be a Leonard Cohen fan. However, I have always been amazed by this recording, and I remain astonished. It is sheer genius from the song itself to the _very_ unusual audio mix of various instruments rising & falling throughout the song. It cannot be captured live; there is nothing else quite like this track.
I guess it's my destiny, found nice singers and they just die, like c'mon... An nice musician.
My mom loved this song, She died this year, I miss her love you Mom!!!
♫ _I'm cold as a new razor blade..._
so loong marriane
Today, is the first day in my life I have listened to Leonard Cohen. A memorable day.
so long old friend, the pain you lived is reflected in your beautiful music which cannot wipe out its eternal love
I miss you si much
It's my mother's name xxxxxxxxxxx
Maestro...Eterno...
Anlamı büyük analayana
this guy was a genius ,his songs are a legend to say the least , long live leonard cohen xx rip
We lost such a great human being
I would agree 6742% but then the philosophical side of me kicks in and I don't know if we ever lose anyone. Our memories hold us to our "others" til the great web brings us all back together again...so long....
I fucking love this man! 💔
