Marianne's Son

[Verse 1: Klara] Marianne stood by the window Looking out on the street as the cars sailed by Knew you wondered if he was going to magically reappear Step out of his car, run into your arms, Marianne [Chorus: Klara & Johanna] Could wait for a sign But you're just killing time and it's killing you too What you can't put behind It'll stay in your mind and it'll haunt you Down, down, down [Verse 2: Klara & Johanna] He was, he was your only son Like you were your mother's only daughter You had to leave when they said He didn't leave because of you or me But because he saw no other way, Marianne [Chorus: Klara & Johanna] Could wait for a sign You're just killing time and it's killing you too You can't put behind It'll stay in your mind and it'll haunt you Down, down, down [Bridge: Klara & Johanna] And I'm not looking for a reason, I'm looking for truth But if I find it meanwhile, it could be of good use But there is no use, no use in blaming yourself It won't lead to anything, Marianne [Outro: Klara & Johanna] But what good does this song? But what good does convincing? I'm not waiting for you to get over this This emptiness and fear won't cease to exist I just wish that you would come to see That everything is the way it must be And if I am wrong, Marianne You may call me a liar
