[length: 05:39]
[00:09.38]Come over to the window, my little darling
[00:10.77]I’d like to try to read your palm
[00:20.43]I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boy
[00:27.44]Before I let you take me home
[00:34.74]Now so long, Marianne
[00:39.67]It’s time that we began
[00:42.45]To laugh and cry
[00:44.99]And cry and laugh about it all again
[00:52.29]Well, you know that I love to live with you
[01:07.24]But you make me forget so very much
[01:15.56]I forget to pray for the angels
[01:22.60]And the angels forget to pray for us
[01:30.18]Now so long, Marianne
[01:34.78]It’s time that we began
[01:37.52]To laugh and cry
[01:40.67]And cry and laugh about it all again
[01:41.40]How we met when we were almost young
[02:01.66]Deep in the green lilac park
[02:10.54]You held on to me like I was a crucifix
[02:16.36]As we went kneeling through the dark
[02:25.47]Now so long, Marianne
[02:30.07]It’s time that we began
[02:33.14]To laugh and cry
[02:34.47]And cry and laugh about it all again
[02:51.07]Your letters, they all say that you’re beside me now
[02:57.98]Then why do I feel alone?
[03:06.24]I’m standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
[03:12.04]Is fastening my ankle to a stone
[03:21.29]Now so long, Marianne
[03:25.36]It’s time that we began
[03:28.12]To laugh and cry
[03:30.57]And cry and laugh about it all again
[03:45.33]For now, now I need your hidden love
[03:52.47]I’m cold as a new razor blade
[04:00.30]You left when I told you I was curious
[04:08.27]I never said that I was brave
[04:15.63]Now so long, Marianne
[04:19.06]It’s time that we began
[04:22.76]To laugh and cry
[04:25.42]And cry and laugh about it all again
[04:40.09]Oh, you are really such a pretty one
[04:47.43]I see that you’ve gone and changed your name again
[04:55.63]And just when I climbed this whole mountainside
[05:03.28]To wash my eyelids in the rain
[05:10.43]Now so long, Marianne
[05:14.24]It’s time that we began
[05:17.75]To laugh and cry
[05:19.84]And cry and laugh about it all again
[05:20.70]If you leave, where will I keep you then?
[05:31.99]In my heart, as some man say
[05:34.29]And I, who was born to love everyone
[05:34.87]Why should I keep you so far away?
[05:35.77]Now so long, Marianne
[05:36.63]It’s time that we began
[05:37.74]To laugh and cry
[05:38.45]And cry and laugh about it all again
