So Long, Marianne

Come over to the window, my little darling
 I'd like to try to read your palm
 I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boy
 Before I let you take me home
 Now 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 angels
 And then the angels forget to pray for us
 Now 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
 Deep in the green lilac park
 You held on to me like I was a crucifix
 As we went kneeling through the dark
 Oh, 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 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
 Oh, 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 climbed this whole mountainside
 To wash my eyelids in the rain
 Oh, so long, Marianne
 It's time that we began
 To laugh and cry
 And cry and laugh about it all again
