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 leave 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 I 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 won't cease to exist

I just wish that you would come to see

That everything is the way its must be

And if I am wrong, marianne, you may call me a liar.
