First Aid Kit - So Long Marianne (Live) 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

Now, you know want to live with you
But, you make me forget so very much
I forget to pray to the angels
And the angels forget to pray for me
Now, 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
Deep in the green lilac park
You held on to me like I was a crucifix
As we went kneeling through the dark

Now, so long, Marianne
It's time that we began
To laugh and cry and cry and
Laugh about it all again

Well, your letters they all say
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

Now, so long, Marianne
It's time that we began
To laugh and cry and cry and
Laugh about it all again

And 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 told you I was brave

Now, so long, Marianne
It's time that we began
To laugh and cry and cry and
Laugh about it all again
Oh, you're really such a pretty one
I see you've gone and changed your hair again
And when I climbed that old mountainside
To wash my eyelids in the rain

Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
To laugh and cry and cry and
Laugh about it all again

Oh tonight, I know I am gonna forget tonight
Your body is at home in every scene
I probably gave away your news to everyone
That you said was a secret to me

Now, so long, Marianne
It's time that we began
To laugh and cry and cry and
Laugh about it all again

Now, so long, Marianne
It's time that we began
To laugh and cry and cry and
Laugh about it all again
