So Long, Marianne (Tour of 1979)

Won't you come over to the window, my little darling

I'd like to try to read your palm

You know I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boy

Before I let you take me home

So long, Marianne

It's time that we began

To laugh and cry

And cry and laugh

About it all again

Well, you know I'd 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

So long, Marianne

It's time that we began

To laugh and cry

And cry and laugh

About it all again

Oh, we met - when was it? - we were almost young

It was down by the green lilac park

You held on to me like I was a crucifix

As we went kneeling through the dark

So long, Marianne

It's time that we began

To laugh and cry

And cry and laugh

About it all again

[Violin solo]

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

Did I ever say 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

Oh, you are really such a perfect one

I see you've gone and changed your names again

And just when I climbed this whole mountainside

To wash my eyelids in that rain

So long, Marianne

It's time that we began

To laugh and cry

And cry and laugh

About it all again

So long, Marianne

It's time that we began

To laugh and cry

And cry and laugh

About it all again
