Marianne's Son
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Marianne stood by the window
Looking out on the street as the cars sail by
Knew you, wondered if he was
Going to magically reappear,
Step out of his car,
Running to your arms, Marianne.
Could wait for a sign but you're just killing time
And it's killing you too
Well you can't put behind,
It'll stay in your mind and it'll haunt you
Down, down, down.
He was, he was your only son
Like you were your mother's only daughter.
You had to believe when they said
He didn't leave because of you or me
But because he saw no other way, Marianne.
Could wait for a sign but you're just killing time
And it's killing you too
Well you can't put behind,
It'll stay in your mind and it'll haunt you
Down, down, down
And I'm not looking for a reason, I'm looking for truth
But if I find it meanwhile it could be
Of good use, but there is no use
No use in
Blaming yourself, it won't lead to anything, Marianne.
But what good does this song
But what good does convincing
I'm not waiting for you to get over this
This emptiness and fear, it won't cease to exist
I just wish that you would come to see
That everything is the way it must be
And if I am wrong, Marianne, you may call me a liar.
