Marianne

Marianne

Take my hand

Understand

Marianne

Marianne

You were queen

Now it's me

Marianne

When you told me

She was dead

Did you know what was in my head

What did you see with your velvet eyes

You couldn't be fooled by her lies.

Oh Marianne

Explain to me

Help me see.

(Marianne)

Marianne.

It was your world.

You were the girl.

(Marianne)

As a picture here tonight

It'll last til the end twilight

I can see her velvet eyes

Shining down with no surprise.

Oh Marianne.

As a picture here tonight

It'll last til the end twilight

Shining down with no surprise.

Oh Marianne.

Take my hand

You were queen.

Marianne.
