Come over to the window my little darling I'd like to try and read your palm I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider's web Is fastening my ankle to the bone 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 You made 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 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 But i never said that i was brave So long marianne, it's time that we began To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again About it all again Now, you're really such a pretty one I see you've gone and changed your name again And just when i climbed this whole mountainside I see you in the distance on the plains So long marianne, it's time that we began To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again About it all again About it all again So long marianne So long marianne All the fights with that big kitchen knife All the lies and the hate that you spat All those long, long furious nights All those long, long furious nights All the tears that we shed The excitement we had On the unmade bed with that big kitchen knife And the crimes we committed at night Yeah the crimes we committed at night For a love we could never get right For a love we could never get right So long marianne So long marianne Marianne
