|
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! |
