Lyrics
She wakes up in the morning light
Her eyes are dark, her skin is white
She's not the girl she used to be
I wonder what's inside her head
To make her say those things she said
Well you know how it can be
Marianne, take my hand, I'm slipping backwards, Marianne
Marianne, oh Marianne, take my hand and lead me home, Marianne
Her friends all say it's just a laugh
And take another photograph
She sends it home across the sea
She messed up all her mother's plans
They sent her off to Switzerland
Where she's got everything she needs
Marianne, take my hand, I'm slipping backwards, Marianne
Marianne, oh Marianne, take my hand and lead me home, Marianne
Oh Marianne, I'm falling
Oh Marianne, I'm falling
In the darkness of her room
She reaches for a spoon
Feeds her body dreams enough to spare
Her eyes reflect the morning light
Death was an oversight
Life was a cross she had to bear
Marianne, take my hand and I'll lead you home, Marianne
Marianne, oh Marianne, take my hand, I'm slipping backwards, Marianne
Oh Marianne, I'm falling
Oh Marianne, I'm falling
