Lady Marianne Lyrics

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
