ross tommy - so•long•marianne Lyrics

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'd 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

And 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

So 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 nearly through the dark

Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh
About it all again

And your letters, they all say
That you're beside me now
Then why do I feel so alone
I am 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

So 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

Now 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

Oh, and you, 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

Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh
About it all again
