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 begin to laugh and cry
And cry and laugh about it all again
Well you know that I love to live with you
I do
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 begin to laugh and cry
And cry and laugh about it all again
Well 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
Yeah
Oh so long Marianne
It's time that we begin to laugh and cry
And cry and laugh about it all again
Oh 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
Fastening my ankle to a stone
So long Marianne
It's time that we begin 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 never said that I was brave
Oh so long Marianne
It's time that we begin 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
Side
To wash my eyelids in the rain
Oh so long Marianne
It's time that we begin to laugh and cry
And cry and cry and cry and laugh and cry about it all again
And again and again
Laugh about it all again
Laugh about it baby
Laugh and cry
Laugh about it baby
And laugh and cry
Laugh about it baby
And cry and cry and cry
Laugh about it baby
And laugh and cry
Laugh about it baby
Laugh and cry
Laugh
Laugh and cry
