Intro: |
Come over to the window, my little darling |
I'd like to try to read your palm |
I used to think I was somekind of Gypsy boy |
Before I let you take me home |
Chorus: |
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 us |
Repeat Chorus |
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 |
Repeat Chorus |
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 |
Repeat Chorus |
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 said that I was brave |
Repeat Chorus |
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 |
To wash my eyelids in the rain |
Bridge: |
x2 |
Repeat Chorus |
