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. | | |

| | So long, Marianne, | it's time that we began to |
| D | Dsus4 | D | D7 | D | Dsus4 | D | D7 | G | Gsus4 | G | Gsus4 | G |
| Laugh | and | cry | and | cry | and | laugh a | bout it all a | gain. | | | | |
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. | |
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 kneeling through the dark. | |
So long, Marianne, it's time that we began to | |
Laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. | |
So long, Marianne, it's time that we began to | |
laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. | |
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. | |
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, 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. | |
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! | |
So long, Marianne, it's time that we began to | |
Laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. | |
So long, Marianne, it's time that we began to | |
laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. | |
Oh your eyes, well I forgot Your eyes; Your body's at home in every sea. | |
How come you gave away your news to everyone, that you said was a secret for me. | |
So long, Marianne, it's time that we began to | |
laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. | |
