Come over to the window, my little darling,
I'd like to try to read you palm
I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boy
Before I let you take me home
Chorus: 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 angel
And then the angels forget to pray for us
Chorus
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
Chorus
Your letters say that you are beside me now
Then why do I feel alone?
I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider we
Is fastening my ankle to a stone
Chorus
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
Chorus
O 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
Chorus
