Lyrics
Sweet Marianne
I know you love me
and it's not that I don't want to see you
It's just the first time I've had for you
and I'm scared of what will come once you're near me
Marianne you can't take me with you
Oh no you can't
'cause I am trembling
I'm in withdrawl from all that I've been missing
This is the worst, oh how I'm aching
I've been fantasizing about your kiss
Marianne you can't take me with you
I will meet you at the boathouse when there's noone else inside
and I'll take you slowly 'til you can't escape my mind
Sweet Marianne I hope you hear me when you're sleeping all alone without me
