First Aid Kit Marianne's Son song lyrics

Marianne stood by the window, looking out on the street as the cars sail by

Knew you, wondered if he was going to magically reappear,

step out of his car,

running to your arms Marianne

Could've wait for a sign but your just killing time

and its killing you too

Well 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 where 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've wait for a sign but your just killing time

and its killing you too

Well 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 I could be of good use but there is, no use

No use, 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 its must be

And if I am wrong, Marianne, you may call me a liar.
