john cale - 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 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.
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.
now so long, marianne, it’s time that we began …
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.
oh so long, marianne, it’s time that we began …
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.
now so long, marianne, it’s time that we began …
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.
oh so long, marianne, it’s time that we began …
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!
oh so long, marianne, it’s time that we began …
