So Long, Marianne

Come over to the window, my little darling
 I'd like to try and read your palm
 I used to think that I was some kind of Gypsy boy
 Before I let you take me home
 Well, you know that I love to live with you
 But you make me forget so very much
 I forget to pray for the angels
 And then the angels forget to pray for us
 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
 Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
 To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
 Your letters, they all say that you're beside me now
 Then why do I feel so all alone?
 I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
 Is fastening my ankle to a stone
 Now 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
 I never said that I was brave
 Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
 To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
 
 ♪
 Oh, you are really such a pretty one
 I see you've gone and changed your name again
 And just when I'd climbed this whole mountainside
 And washed my eyelids in the rain
 Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
 To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
