Lyrics
Lost and betrayed. They found her today cut down by a knife as sharp as my shame. Did you call my name when the world caved in? December rain. Abandoned again. Caught by a fatal kiss, false and as passionless as he, Marianne. Did you give in? Hush Marianne, there's a knock on the door as I walk through the wreckage of terror and war. Hush Marianne, I can't talk anymore - they've come to lay you down. Yesterday's play, but whither today? Come back tomorrow and I'll show you some sorrow. Oh by the way, is it true what they say - that blessed are those who pain denies? Oh baby, come back and I'll tell you some lies along the way. Along the way. Hush Marianne, there's a storm a'coming; it chills me to the bones. Hush Marianne, I can't talk anymore.
