Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Won't you come over to the window, my little darlin'
I'd like to try and read your palm
I used to think I was some kind of Gypsy boy
Before I let you take me home
[Verse 2]
So long, Marianne, it's time that we began
To laugh, and cry, and cry, and laugh about it all again
[Verse 3]
You know that I really 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
[Verse 4]
So long, Marianne, it's time that we began
To laugh, and cry, and cry, and laugh about it all again
[Verse 5]
So long, Marianne, it's time that we began
To laugh, and cry, and cry, and laugh about it all again
[Verse 6]
For now I need your hidden love
I'm cold as a new razor blade
You left when I told you I was curious
I never said that I was brave
[Verse 7]
So long, Marianne, it's time that we began
To laugh, and cry, and cry, and laugh about it all again
[Verse 8]
Oh, you are really such a pretty one
I see you've gone and changed your name again
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside
To wash my eyelids in the rain
[Verse 9]
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
