  • Won´t you 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 laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again

  • 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.

  • It was down by 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.

  • 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've never told you I was brave

  • So long, Marianne, it's time that we began

  • to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

  • You are really such a pretty one.

  • I see you've gone and changed your name again.

  • And just when I climbed this 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.

Won´t you come over to the window, my little darling,
