So Long, Marianne (Live)

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 me

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

But then why do I feel so 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 told you I was brave

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

To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again

Oh, you're such a pretty one

I see you've gone and change your hair 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

Oh tonight, I know I am gonna forget tonight

Your body is at home in every scene

I probably gave away your news to everyone

That you said was a secret to me

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

To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again

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

To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
