So Long Marianne

Come over to the window my little darling

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

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

Down by the green lilac park

You held onto me like I was a crucifix

As we went kneeling through the dark

So Long Marianne

It’s time that we began

To laugh and cry

And cry and laugh

About it all again

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 told you I was brave

So Long Marianne

It’s time that we began

To laugh and cry

And cry and laugh

About it all again

Here comes the morning boat

Here comes the evening train

Here comes Marianna now

To wave goodbye again

So Long Marianne

It’s time that we began

To laugh and cry

And cry and laugh

About it all again
