So long, Marianne
Won't you come over to the window, my little darling?I'd like to try to read your palmYou know I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boyBefore I let you take me home
So long, Marianne, it's time that we beganTo laugh and cry and cryAnd laugh about it all again
Well, you know that I love to live with youBut you make me forget so very muchI forget to pray for the angelsAnd then the angels forget to pray for us
So long, Marianne, it's time that we beganTo laugh and cry and cryAnd laugh about it all again
Now we met when was it? We were almost youngWe stand by the green lilac parkYou held on to me like I was a crucifixAs we went kneeling through the dark
So long, Marianne, it's time that we beganTo laugh and cry and cryAnd laugh about it all again
Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we beganTo laugh and cry and cryAnd laugh about it all again
For now, I need your hidden loveI'm cold as a new razor bladeYou left when I told you I was curiousDid I ever say that I was brave?
So long, Marianne, it's time that we beganTo laugh and cry, cryAnd laugh about it all again
Oh, you are really such a pretty womanI see you've gone and changed your names againAnd just when I climbed this whole mountainsideTo wash my eyelids in the rain
So long, Marianne, it's time that we beganTo laugh and cry and cryAnd laugh about it all again
So long, Marianne, it's time that we beganTo laugh and cry, cryLaugh about it all again
