| Come over to the window, my little darling
|
| I’d like to try to read your palm
|
| I’m standing on a ledge, and you fine spider’s web
|
| Is fastening my ankle to the bone
|
| 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
|
| You made me forget so very much
|
| I forgot to pray for the angels
|
| And then the angels forgot 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
|
| For now I need your hidden love
|
| I’m cold as a new razor blade
|
| You left when I told you I was curious
|
| But I never said that I was brave
|
| So long, Marianne, it’s time that we began
|
| To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
|
| About it all again
|
| So long, Marianne
|
| So long, Marianne
|
| Marianne!
|
| Marianne!
|
| Now you’re really such a pretty one
|
| I see you’ve gone and changed your name again
|
| And just when I climbed this whole mountainside
|
| I see you in the distance, on the plains
|
| So long, Marianne, it’s time that we began
|
| To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
|
| About it all again
|
| About it all again
|
| So long, Marianne
|
| So long, Marianne
|
| All the fights
|
| With that big kitchen knife
|
| All the lies
|
| And the hate that you spat
|
| All those long, long, furious nights
|
| All those long, long, furious nights
|
| All the tears that we shed
|
| The excitement we had
|
| And the unmade bed
|
| With that big kitchen knife
|
| And the crimes we committed at night
|
| Yeah, the crimes we committed at night
|
| For a love we could never get right
|
| For a love we could never get right
|
| So long, Marianne!
|
| So long, Marianne!
|
| Marianne! |
