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!
