So Long, Marianne

Come over to the window, my little darling I'd like to try to read your palm I'm standing on a ledge, and you fine spider's web Is fastening my ankle to the bone 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 You made me forget so very much I forgot to pray for the angels And then the angels forgot to pray for us 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 But I never said that I was brave So long, Marianne, it's time that we began To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again About it all again So long, Marianne So long, Marianne Marianne! Marianne! Now you're really such a pretty one I see you've gone and changed your name again And just when I climbed this whole mountainside I see you in the distance, on the plains So long, Marianne, it's time that we began To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again About it all again About it all again So long, Marianne So long, Marianne All the fights With that big kitchen knife All the lies And the hate that you spat All those long, long, furious nights All those long, long, furious nights All the tears that we shed The excitement we had And the unmade bed With that big kitchen knife And the crimes we committed at night Yeah, the crimes we committed at night For a love we could never get right For a love we could never get right So long, Marianne! So long, Marianne! Marianne!
