lyrics

"Marianne"

Marianne, you're wasted, you can't remember my name
Years ago we fell in love and ran away for a day
Marianne, you're wasted, but I want to hold your hand
Help you with the memories we could have had

Oh when that wind blows, darling, I can smell your cheeks
All the way in San Francisco or from the highest peak
When I dream of happiness I sail into your eyes
A million stars of sunshine could not replace your light

Marianne you're making me, one crazy man
All I really want to do is to try and understand
Why so many years ago you pushed me away
You said, "don't you understand boy, I do remember your name"

Marianne that whiskey will clear your throat
Ask me anything that you could ever wish to know
I can tell you honestly no one's ever come close
"Then why didn't you fight for me," you say, "why'd you have to go?"

Marianne you're making me, one crazy man
Years ago we fell in love now here we are again
Good was never good enough, you couldn't give yourself a chance
Marianne, I love you but I cannot come back again
Marianne, I love you but I cannot come back again
