Verso 1: Come over to the window, my little darling I'd like to try to read your palm I used to think I was some sort 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 Verso 2: 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 (Refrão) Verso 3: 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 (Refrão) Verso 4: 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 (Refrão) Verso 5: 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 (Refrão) Verso 6: 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 (Refrão)
