So Long, Marianne Songtext
von Naima Bock

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 you try to take me home

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 so the angels forget to pray for us

Well, 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
Down in the green of autumn park
You held on to me like I was a crucifix
As we went kneeling through the dark

Well, your letters, they all say that you′re beside me now
Then why do I feel so alone?
I'm standing on a ledge, and your fine spider web
Is fastening my ankle to a stone

Well, 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 touch
I′m cold as a new razor blade
You left when I told you I was curious
I never told you I was brave


Well, so long, Marianne
It′s time that we began
To laugh and cry and cry
And laugh about it all again
