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
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

My Dad played this song over and over when my Mother died from suicide in 1980. I'd come downstairs in the evening not being able to fall asleep, and find my Dad in the living room playing the vinyl version. As a 5-year old kid, I could not understand what happened, I could only feel the intense emotions this song evoked. I am 46 now and still this song brings tears to my eyes, and makes me miss both my Dad and Mom so much.
My go to song for a blood good cry and to remind me to stay has always been "the suicide song" by REM or its real title "Everybody Hurts." Guaranteed to release all stress and calm me. Everybody needs A song !
I understand you perfectly.I was in Hydra back in 1967...Life can be very hard for many...

@@deborahjordan235 beautiful ❤️
I was in the British Army in the 70's and 80's. I was stationed in Germany in Münster. I use to drink i the students' area in a little pub called the Caffette. They used to play 60's Englush music including this track. I always liked it. When I listen to it it brings me back to the Caffette.
Today, is the first day in my life I have listened to Leonard Cohen. A memorable day.
Listen to sisters of mercy, joan of arc, story of Isaac, bird on a wire, passing through.
1st if many i hope. He's an absolute poet
Good for you my friend.
He's one of my favorites of all times. Rest in Paradise Leonard ❤️🌃🌌
One of the best days of your life... Listen I left women waiting... Good luck with all, specialy with layds.
My parents divorced when I was young. They both couldn't listen to this song. It was their love song. I would catch my dad listening to it though. Same with my mom..... they always loved each other. When leonard died, a part of our family died too. I miss my family so much
Great poet and melody writer. Three am, April 29 , 2024 and from no where my brain start hearing this melody
when i was 16 and my boyfriend was 22 he introduced me to leonard cohen music . we married and still leonard cohen was our main music for 34 years when he passed away with a heart attack.i still play his music and remember the days we listened together . brings back so many memories.
If it was today your boyfriend would get arrested and put behind bars and you'd get put in foster care.
@@AT-yj8gl bit excessive...
@@dehanbadenhorst1398 maybe. I don't make the laws. But it's true
@@AT-yj8gl why?
@@carolehollis2472 its the law. You were under 18 and he wasn't.
It was a favourite song of my dear sister who died by her own hand 10 years ago-I still miss her dreadfully, and playing this song reminds me of her-R.I.P Heather.
Sorry for loss, losing someone you love is painfull but losing that person by suicide must be excruciating, don't know you but it's not your fault
💔
My dad wanted this song on his funeral. He blew out his last breath while hearing this song ❤️ Music can bring so much ❤️
I feel sorry for the people who have not been able to appreciate the music of the 1960s and 1970s. This song is an example that one should know and cherish.
I travelled Australia listing to Cohen, Alanis and Nirvana. Musical heaven. I'm no longer on friendly terms with my female travel mate and this song soothes me greatly. Leonard Cohen singer poet and philosopher, gotta love him.
One of the most powerful and heartfelt artists to have ever graced our gorgeous planet
Agreed👍
A true genius.
Absolutely mate
I miss him every day. We need a new troubadour to herald :)
Just god, basically x
I just discovered this song literally 12 minutes ago. What a masterpiece.
Nice find.! Don't stop listening to Leonard..
Wowsers!! My dad would play it on the guitar and mom would sing along. Some of the few memories I have of my parents together. It still reminds me of them..
Joel, read about Leonard and Marianne, his muse. He had such a life! Thank you, Leonard!!!💖
My girlfriend left me for a long time see came back after and had Leonard Cohen LP with her loved it
Hmm 1973 for me ,read about their history after that song
I am always touched by the heart, almost to tears reading the comments people write about their life on these kind of songs. and the music too is so beautiful. it brings up emotions...and memories.
Corona is spreading like perfume and I am here sitting in my garden alone on a basking chair, quarantined, in a small city of India tuning with this masterpiece. Don't know if I am gonna get infected or survive but here I am enjoying, the shy breeze trying to poke me, asking me to go out but 'am resisting
Oh life, hope I live enough to see you to the fullest!
I am quarantined in the us. And you will friend.
lovely
Shibsagar Debnath - I’m here in Las Cruces, New Mexico, quarantined as well, exploring the sensitive music of Leonard Cohen. Following common sense guidelines, we will survive!
"Poetry of earth is never dead"
Ctrain 8 thank you. It's nice too hear friend in time like this which is so ephemeral. May you behold the nature to its fullest too
RIP Leonard Cohen. Thank you for enriching our lives!
The power of music❤the power of love ❤️ and 🙏❤️
Oh lordy. This is his anthem to his life-long lover who he actually messed around. But at the end of their lives he reached out to her in a beautiful heartbreaking letter. This song is such a perfect love song. Leaves me in tears still !
I love how much his voice changes overtime...
Appunto!
"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. 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." - LC, July 2016

god bless
Gary Maher well said x
@Marlena DM Probably for ever, this time ...
This is what brought me, the letter, I read it published in an article about Leonard just before his death. Is This Is Us a video game?
Rest in Peace, Leonard Cohen.......
So sad! Love Leonard!

He died the same day dumb-ass Trump was elected. I know cause my girl died in my arms that same day. I learned to play this song on guitar about a month before this happened. Still play it today. Love this song especially James version on tribute album.
I have loved this song for 43 years. I think today about the boy I loved then and still do in a piece of my heart.
I never said I was brave. Ty Leonard Cohen.
So do I Drew. Delighted that somebody else feels this way too.
I've loved this song for 55 years and still think about the girl I loved and lost all that time ago and she still holds a part of my heart. The power of the song means there will be many like us.
I want this to be played at my funeral.
There’s just so much poetry to Cohen! It’s so simple yet so beautiful. The line: “we met when we were almost young” is so moving. I had the chance to go to one of his concerts in Lisbon, needless to say, it was the best one of my life! He opened it with “Dance me to the end of Love” and I just cried. It was the first song I ever listened of him, when I was only 14 and that made me fell in love. This man will forever be one of the greatest loves of my life!
My aunt passed away in 2016 from cancer, and this was her favourite song...... hard to listen too without shedding a tear xx
Sorry to hear about ur aunt!!! I know they are hallow words but remember... there's a plan for us all!!! My thoughts and prayers for her and everyone🙏⚘️🌷❤️
This is a Masterpiece of Music written by a Great Poet and Musician who lives in our Heart Forever, RIP Leonard Cohen
Most beautiful song ever.
I love Lenard's voice and lyrics, but can I just say that the backup singers on a lot of his tracks do so much great work. This song would still be good without them, but they just kick it up so many levels.
I passed Mr Cohen on the street one day in Toronto. As he approached i thought i think I know this guy. He saw the bewildered look on my face and smiled. Then I realized who he was. RIP Leonard
So cool. What a memory to have
I bought this record when 16.My mum couldn't understand why I loved this music
I went from David Cassidy at 14 to Leonard Cohen at 16. There was so much great music being made then.I so love it now 47 years later. Thank you Leonard. I am a grandparent now too.Thank you for the feeling your music has given me all these years. You are a true story teller.
so much story in so few words.
that's an artist.
From Cassidy to Cohen sounds like a good move to me ! Herbs often facilitate this progress
Harry Chapin is great as well!
Like you, I went from David Cassidy to Joni Mitchell. Leonard and she were a pair for awhile.
Was supposed to go to see Deep Purple live in Cardiff many years ago but spent the ticket money on this Leonard Cohen album. My friends thought I was mad but I loved it and still do. They gave me a hard time but it was a something I will never forget Leonard was a genius
I feel bad for your friends loss of money.
Same exact story, the harassment by friends over my passion for Joni Mitchell way back. Ah, life.
Sends shivers down my spine!!
So long Leonard, I will miss you. You were truly great, I will miss you, thanks for all you have done.
This song was played at my grandmothers funeral, she loved this song
40 years later... I still love this song...
Me too.
I knew the words to his songs when I was six years old, thanks to my mother. He's always been my favourite artist.
I'm 21. Been listening to you since I was probably six months old. My biggest inspiration. My one true musical idol. My favorite voice on the planet. It's so very, very sad. I will always love you, Mr. Cohen. Me and my father will miss you dearly.
I always maintain, Leonard does lullabies for adults. He'll be with me forever. 'tis Art.
"My father and I"
Wow, I loved reading this. For a person as young as you to listen to LC because he is pretty deep and hard to stomach, at times. Hee hee
The more you listen to this amazing artist of life.. Through his music, his experiences in life and love.. The more you will understand.. and in time you will be able to go back and reflect on how he was able to say it all for you when you didn't know how.. He will bring emotions out of you that you didn't even realize were within you. All the best to you in your journey of life, young one.. I sincerely mean that.. and so happy fo
r you that your father introduced you to Leonard Cohen.. Not all of us in this world have that blessing.
My baby sitter in the 70's loved Leonard. She played him all the time.. Now I'm blessed with this amazing soul in my life..! Love you Leonard..! Jesus is Lord.! 💕
I love this song. I love it since my childhood in the Soviet Estonia. It was my parents' favourite music back then in the early eighties.
Good bye Leonard you were one of my favorites been listening since I was 17 now 60 music never gets old. RIP
So sad great singer, my boyfriend gave me the album, my name is Mary Ann I loved it and always think of him,Leonard was so powerful he also sings a song named Amen beautiful love you RIP.
EVERY WORD SEEPS WITH LOVE...as we laugh & cry & cry & laugh about it all again !
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
I love this song! Leonard Cohen is a genius!
So long Leonard and RIP. I'm so much less afraid of dying now.
Great words, but calmly said, Patricia ...
Hey, i need to beat my cousin in a game of golf, any suggestions?
❤
From 1967 to here has been a long and lovely journey, thank you .
What a legend Cohen was... You held on to me like I was a crucifix ...
He was first and foremost, more so than a singer. I think that's been lost a bit in the wash, but lyrics like that prove it
He was and still is my favourite
I am from Montréal, last week I passed by his house in St. Laurent when I wanted to eat at Schwartz smoked meat. One of his favorite resto. I was telling to my self how we all missed him, he is irreplaceable. Thank you Leo for All good memories you made for us with your poem and songs
I thought he was a vegetarian.
At peace now Leonard. Thank you for the music, you have enriched my life and so many others.
Rest in Peace, Leonard. You kept your promise that you would be right behind her
Agora a cantar no coro dos anjos.
Shame he left her .❤
Lesson.. don't leave a lover. You'll regret it.
Unlike human life, love is eternal.
My grampy loved Leonard so much. He served in WW2 and lived a hard life. He was so intelligent and sophisticated but also so romantic. He and my nana would listen to this song, even when they "split up" they lived in the same apartment complex and the way he talked about her sounded like they were still married! They did get married again not even a year later so my family has suspicions that they never split! But hearing this song reminds me of him. Leonards a very dear friend for my family. ❤
I absolutely love this story! Thank you ❤️
I love your story, thanks for sharing.
... this evocative tune with its hypnotic guitar strumming takes me to places that I have never been ... only heard it for the first time the other day during the closing stages of a indelible passage of time ... that tune is now seared into my consciousness until the end of time ....
There's a fiddle in there too.
RIP. Mr. Cohen. Always the only one.
Thank you and may you rest in peace.
Léonard Cohen m'accompagne depuis des années et c'est toujours la même magie.💓
My father brought me here. Sometimes my father does things that drop my feelings for him straight to zero, but at the end of the day, I always forgive him. I need him. He's the only person I've ever known who I need.
I love my father.
Been listening for 50+ years; grateful to have his music inside!
I cried the day you left us here. Always missing you Leonard. Glorious Poet/songwriter. Unique. Thanks for inspiring me. 🖐👏👏🎶🎶✍
This was my FIRST introduction to LEONARD COHEN ... and it was LOVE AT FIRST SOUND! 😍💖🥰😘💞 1973 was the year ... thanks to a Canadian couple who played it for me and my BF at the time ... somewhere in Europe ... I've long forgotten where we were at the time. 😁😂
SUZANNE was the 2nd song! 👌 Just as AWESOME! 💖😍
🙏🤗 Thank God nobody can ever steal or rob us of our most precious memories.
I had never heard of Leonard til I was 57. Heard K.D.Lang sing Hallelujah and it led me to him. Due to so many verses I learned I could sing Acapello and in key and hold that last Hallelujah for a long bloody time. I still dance to the end of love.
Hello Deborah
Every time I hear this I imagine him and Marianne wandering the streets of Hydra, and it makes me so sad. It's like the loss of innocence and the loss of what could have been. God bless us all in these tragic days.
I was a teenager in the 70, this was one of my favorites. I had it on a 45 😂
The words are so evocative and full of wonderful meaning. He wants his freedom and regrets it when he gets it. "You held on to me like I was a crucifix....." / "I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web is fastening my ankle to a stone....." " You left when I told you I was curious ..... I never said I was brave". Wonderful Mr Leonard Cohen.
I know that feeling... too late to regret.
another Legend leaves us behind , Rest now Leonard and thanks for all the good and sometimes sad times
Greg O Hare
does youtube pay u theres always that one guy r u him?
3 times live with my mum in Dublin Ireland ❤
"I forget to pray for the Angels and then the Angels forget to pray for us'"
Masterpiece
When you've been listening to some good songs but now you want to listen to pure beauty
Uvek kada mi nedostaje mir u dusi i odmor slusam nezaboravne pesme divnog pevaca i posebnog coveka L Koena
RIP Mr.Cohen. You are a legend.
So long Leonard
The man is a pure emotion.Always deep deep beautifuly deep....love it.
I bought this album in 1968 and loved it. My college roommate complained that “it’s so depressing “. Sigh, no,it’s beautiful 💕
I first encountered this song in a Leonard Cohen songbook. I plonked it out on the guitar, and I wasn't impressed. Then I heard Cohen sing it and I was blown away. All these years later, it's still at the top of list of my favorite Cohen songs.
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!

@@ZandrichMynhardt ew what?
@@michelenelson3513 Hello how are you doing today ?

If this is us brought you here, don’t stop. Leonard has a lot to offer. SUZZANE live is one of my favorites.
and Famous Blue Raincoat!
So long Mary Ann Dawn Wells from Gilligan's Island passed away today at the age of 82!
Just discovered this song... yet it feels like ive been listening to it for years. What a great tune.
First heard this song when 16 with my the love of my life I didn't realize the significance of the it's until 40 years later. The emotional intensity can almost be immeasurable of the beauty of the many complexities and meanings of love. Dedicated to my one and only love, Robert B.
Hello Elaine
Es war so ein Gefühl von Sehnsuct und irgendwie . D
Like many others, I heard this for the first time on “This Is Us.” I was shocked to hear them say it was Leonard Cohen. I only knew the low growl of his latter years. So it turns out he actually had a good voice. Hallelujah! 😉
Cuando la escuché en This Is Us ya me hizo enamorarme por completo de la serie, pues es una de mis canciones favoritas.
James does a good version.
I have made a promise to myself that when this comes up on my playlist, I have to play it twice. Haunting love song
Just so you know - yes I played this twice
Stirs emotions
Mark Smith I have this beautiful song 3 times on my night time Spotify playlist….
@@kathrynaann2461 kindred spirit
Sometimes more, sometimes this and THAT'S NO WAY TO SAY GOODBYE together.
Sweet to my ears, Leonard Cohen 👍
Cohen fait parti de ma famille depuis très longtemps. Merci L.Cohen
I discovered Leonard Cohen in 1978 and he has always been there since...
Uncle Nicky Pearson brought me here. Jack didn’t erase him🖤
Same.
Right? I have shed so many tears to this song.
Shelbee Pollino Same! I was looking up this song as my parents and I were watching the finale! Now we have to wait two months for a new episode! Bummer!
Me too!!!
@@mayara_albuquerque I can't believe you already watched all the episodes... sksksksk
One day I'm going to listen to this without crying - but not today.

Such an excellent song, by an under appreciated artist.
Greatly underrated artist one of the best
This is legit one if not my favorite song ever made. This is what music really is.
REST IN PARDASE LEGEND LENARD 🙌 🙏
One of my all time favorites singer/songwriters over the years. You are now with Marianne... RIP Leonard.
Masterpiece of Cohen, takes me to places you cannot quite imagine.
One of the best songs ever created! ❤️
