Marianne’s Son - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Klara]

Marianne stood by the window

Looking out on the street as the cars sailed by

Knew you wondered if he was going to magically reappear

Step out of his car, run into your arms, Marianne

Could wait for a sign

But you're just killing time and it's killing you too

What 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

You're just killing time and it's killing you too

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, it 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 it must be

And if I am wrong, Marianne

You may call me a liar
