Fly past the headstones, runnin' in the rain alone
Familiar buzz, will I make it to the light
And who is Marianne
Turn to look, there's no one there
Just Marianne and me on a rainy night

Changin' the bedclothes, weary weather's gettin' old
Familiar sounds, will it last the night
And who is Marianne
Got no lover, got no plans
Just ragged fingers, tired hands, putting out the lights

She says
"I'm leavin', I'm not coming back
We're even, be happy with that
I'm leavin', unlocking a door that's open"

Kneelin' in the graveyard, I wonder, will the passing cars
Think I'm someone's soul, bent to tie a shoelace
And who was Marianne
I don't know, but wonder and
Commit to memory each and every name

I live a still life, bowl of oranges, purple irises
No all-consuming love on which I can rely
And what am I today
Did Marianne ever feel the same
And will she keep me company before I go tonight

'Cause I'm leavin', I'm not coming back
We're even, be happy with that
I'm leavin', I'm locking a door that's open

La-ooh
Ooh, oh, da, da, da
Ooh, ah-da

'Cause I'm leavin', I'm not coming back
We're even, be happy with that
I'm leavin', unlocking a door that's open
Always has been
