So Long, Marianne Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Amalie 

Cover art for So Long, Marianne lyrics by Leonard Cohen

Still though, I think the Marianne he refers to in the song is Marianne Ihlens, his girlfriend and muse through the sixties. She is the woman pictured on the back of the cover to "Songs From A Room". They lived together for ten years on the greek island of Hydra.

@Amalie that sounds so romantic. :)
