So Long, Marianne
Come over to the window, little darling,
Id 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.
So long, Marianne, its 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 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, to 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.
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.
So long, Marianne, it's time that we began
To laugh and cry, to cry and laugh about it all again.
Oh you really are 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!
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
Id 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.
So long, Marianne, its 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 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, to 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.
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.
So long, Marianne, it's time that we began
To laugh and cry, to cry and laugh about it all again.
Oh you really are 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!
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
