Lyrics

Come over to the window, my little darling,

I'd like to try to read your palm.

I used to think I was some kind of Gypsy boy

before I let you take me home.

Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began

to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again

Well you know that I 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.

Now 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

deep in the green lilac park.

You held on to me like I was a crucifix,

as we went kneeling through the dark.

Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began

to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again

Your letters they all say that you're beside me now.

Then why do I feel alone?

I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web

is fastening my ankle to a stone.

Now 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

I never said

I never said that I was brave.

Oh 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 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!

Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began

to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
