So Long, Marianne James

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!
