Lyrics

[00:00.0] Marianne stood by the window, looking out on the street as the cars sail by
[00:17.60] Knew you, wondered if he was going to magically reappear
[00:25.43] step out of his car
[00:28.21] running to your arms Marianne
[00:37.1] Could wait for a sign but you're just killing time
[00:42.53] And it's killing you too
[00:47.80] Well you can't put behind,
[00:50.61] it'll stay in your mind and it'll haunt you
[00:57.53] Down, down, down
[01:05.67] He was, he was your only son
[01:10.50] Like you were your mother's only daughter
[01:19.11] You had to leave when they said
[01:23.81] he didn't leave because of you or me
[01:29.30] but because he saw no other way Marianne.
[01:41.18] Could wait for a sign but you're just killing time
[01:46.28] and it's killing you too
[01:51.98] Well you can't put behind
[01:54.34] it'll stay in your mind and it'll haunt you
[02:01.57] Down, down, down
[02:08.49] And I'm not looking for a reason, I'm looking for truth
[02:19.38] But if I find it meanwhile I could be of good use but there is, no use
[02:30.57] No use in, blaming yourself, it won't lead to anything, Marianne
[02:48.2] But what good does this song
[02:53.3] But what good does convincing
[02:57.88] I'm not waiting for you to get over this
[03:03.62] This emptiness and fear won't cease to exist
[03:09.7] I just wish that you would come to see
[03:14.41] That everything is the way its must be
[03:19.91] And if I am wrong
[03:26.16] Marianne, you may call me a liar
