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.

Now 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.

Now 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!

Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

Using the measure of [musicality + lyrics + can listen repeatedly]… this is an 8.
Even if LC himself is a permanent 10 for the significant impact he left on music and poetry.

I miss Leonard and I miss my friend and love from a past life, John. This song is SO deep.

He's not for everyone. No shame in that. I'm told Joanie Mitchell has a transcendently beautiful voice, but it sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. Some people just don't get it.

Great song. For anyone looking for an even better reimagining, look no further than British band James. It was also included in the excellent "I'm Your Fan" anthology of Cohen covers. YouTube.

So - those of you who never “got” poetry will never get LC. I had a girlfriend in my early 20’s and she was amazing and beautiful and incredibly deep spirited. Anne. She gave me L Cohen and I lost her due to my foolish ego and arrogance… I like to think I learned something about myself in that relationship. Love you still Anne.

Weird, when this song was starting and I heard the guitars, I thought it was going to be some 1980s Steve Winwood, like "Back In The High Life".

Literally crying hearing this song and thinking of how powerfully Cohen's songs affected so many, and how she heard Bird On The Wire hummed as she passed. Godlike is the only rating that fits.

For all of you that love his music should see Live in London concert on DVD or elsewhere available with 5.1 DD (or better) sound.
I first saw it on PBS long ago and received a DVD from Santa very next Christmas. 
What an amazing concert. Impeccable musicianship, heavenly backup vocals and the master himself.

IMHO Dylan wrote about 50% of the great songs

Leonard wrote about 25%

Most of the rest are one hit wonders

YMMV

I saw this article a few weeks ago on Rolling Stone:

...after he informed Cohen of Ihlen's looming death from leukemia, the legendary singer-songwriter-poet responded two hours later with a "beautiful" letter, which Mollestad then read to Ihlen.

"It said, 'Well Marianne it's come to this time when we are really so old and our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon. Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine," Mollestad told the CBC of Cohen's letter.

"'And you know that I've always loved you for your beauty and your wisdom, but I don't need to say anything more about that because you know all about that. But now, I just want to wish you a very good journey. Goodbye old friend. Endless love, see you down the road.'"

Two days later, Ihlen "lost consciousness and slipped into death," Mollestad said. Her funeral was held Friday in her native Oslo, Norway.

Cohen met Ihlen in the Sixties while vacationing on the Greek Island in Hydra; he ultimately invited her and her infant son to live with him in Montreal. Ihlen and Cohen remained together for the next seven years, with their relationship serving as Cohen's inspiration for Songs of Leonard Cohen's "So Long, Marianne" and "Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye" and Songs From a Room's "Bird on the Wire."

Cohen's verified Facebook page also remembered Ihlen with a series of written tributes from her friends and Cohen biographers as well as a letter Mollestad wrote to Cohen informing the singer of Ihlen's death.

"Your letter came when she still could talk and laugh in full consciousness. When we read it aloud, she smiled as only Marianne can. She lifted her hand, when you said you were right behind, close enough to reach her. It gave her deep peace of mind that you knew her condition. And your blessing for the journey gave her extra strength," Mollestad wrote.

"In her last hour I held her hand and hummed 'Bird on a Wire,' while she was breathing so lightly. And when we left he room, after her soul had flown out of the window for new adventures, we kissed her head and whispered your everlasting words: So long, Marianne."



  Thank you, that was awesome.

{#Wink} Funny. 
But all things considered, after 50 years of Cohen-esque 'hallelujahs' and laments, this song sounds rather...upbeat. Hell, for a second there he almost sounds like Neil Diamond.

Pity this is in the library and still hasn't been played.  His reading of this So Long..., like the rest of the cd/dvd, is very good.  He is in remarkable voice for a 75 year old man who recently concluded a 246 stop tour.  Now that's a comeback tour (and retrieves millions stolen by his ex-business manager).
