Marianne

There he goes The months, they're fadin' greens and yellows There he goes, being weighed down by the grave Countin' magpie, singing See the old man sittin' on the bench That he built for Marianne I am here Walkin' with the lonely people Goin' out to chase away the blues Plantin' lilies in the rain So that June bugs here can eat He said, "You're too young to understand What it's like living life without my Marianne" He saves a seat for her On the bus to work And wears her wedding ring He makes a favourite breakfast and feeds it to the dog He doesn't understand There ain't no life Without my Marianne Walkin' with the deep sea of people I've never known And probably never will All I want is someone that can want Like no one's ever wanted Anybody else He saves a seat for her On the bus to work And wears her wedding ring He makes her favourite dinner and feeds it to the dog And doesn't understand There ain't no life Without my Marianne
