In the eye of my mind
She was there all the time
She was spring everything
Marianne
In the dawn of the day
If she had nowhere to stay
I was there for my dear
Marianne
But when she said that she loved me
She was lying through her teeth
When I looked into her eyes
I saw her black heart underneath
I was smothered by the pillow
Of her overpowering greed
Just a long forgotten mutt
On a diamond studded lead
And as time wandered by
I departed with a sigh
You and me weren't meant to be
Marianne
I was called into a war
That I could not care less for
Split apart forever more
Marianne
Though I threw out all the pictures
That reminded me of her
I still long for just one more
Winter night alone with her
Though I threw out all my memories
And I left them there to blur
I sometimes think and wish
I could have grown older with her
Yeah
Though I threw out all the pictures
That reminded me of her
I still long for just one more
Winter night alone with her
Though I threw out all my memories
And I left them there to blur
I sometimes think and wish
I could have grown older with her
