[00:06.45]
[00:14.91] Come over to the window,my little darling,
[00:24.33] I'd like to try to read your palm.
[00:32.51] I used to think I was some kind of Gypsy boy
[00:40.75] before I let you take me home.
[00:44.42]
[00:48.62] Well you know that I love to live with you,
[00:57.78] but you make me forget so very much.
[01:05.92] I forget to pray for the angels
[01:12.41] and then the angels forget to pray for us.
[01:19.00]
[01:22.41] We met when we were almost young
[01:30.15] deep in the green lilac park.
[01:38.50] You held on to me like I was a crucifix,
[01:49.03] as we went kneeling through the dark.
[01:53.11] Oh so long,Marianne,it's time that we began
[02:08.58] to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
[02:13.41]
[02:14.78] Your letters they all say that you're beside me now.
[02:24.96] Then why do I feel alone?
[02:33.13] I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
[02:40.77] is fastening my ankle to a stone.
[02:48.30] Now so long,Marianne,it's time that we began
[02:56.06] to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
[03:05.93]
[03:09.93] For now I need your hidden love.
[03:17.96] I'm cold as a new razor blade.
[03:26.27] You left when I told you I was curious,
[03:34.22] I never said that I was brave.
[03:40.84] Oh so long,Marianne,it's time that we began
[03:49.08] to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
[03:58.82]
[04:06.09] Oh,you are really such a pretty one.
[04:15.14] I see you've gone and changed your name again.
[04:23.13] And just when I climbed this whole mountainside,
[04:31.83] to wash my eyelids in the rain!
[04:38.24] Oh so long,Marianne,it's time that we began
[04:46.16] to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
