Marianne, I'm Falling Songtext
von Phil Shöenfelt

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, 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, 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
She 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
I'm slipping backwards, Marianne
Marianne, take my hand
I′ll lead you home, Marianne

Oh Marianne, I'm falling
Oh Marianne, I′m falling
