- So Long Marianne LyricsCome 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 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
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
We stand 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
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.
Oh 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, cry
And laugh about it all again
Oh, you are really such a pretty woman
I see you've gone and changed your names again
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside
To wash my eyelids in the 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, cry
Laugh about it all again
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 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
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
We stand 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
Your letters they all say that you're beside me now
I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
is fastening my ankle to a stone.
Oh 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, cry
And laugh about it all again
Oh, you are really such a pretty woman
I see you've gone and changed your names again
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside
To wash my eyelids in the 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, cry
Laugh about it all again
Facts about So Long Marianne
✔️
So Long Marianne is written and performed by Leonard Cohen.
✔️
When we interpret the meaning being expressed, Leonard Cohen's 'So Long, Marianne' is a poem for a past love one that has been filled with love, laughter, and tears all the way through. The singing is nothing but love, and that is what the lyrics say, together with loneliness and nostalgia. Furthermore, the metaphor of ‘laugh and cry’ indicates the turbulent feelings that a strong bond can bring, and speaking of forgetting to pray for angels and being alone when physically together shows the difficulties and contradictions of love and human relationship. The song delivers not only the viewpoint of love but also despair, joy, nostalgia, and reflection coming from the very same situation. Such viewpoints are expressed through the lyrics outlining the need for, and the existence of nostalgia and reflection, love and longing, and loss and separation. In the lyrics, besides love and longing, there is also a quality of emotional depth that could be unsuitable for very young children. Although there are no direct mentions of violence, sex, or drugs, the emotional rollercoaster and some of the complex themes would suggest that parental guidance might be advisable.
