Come over to our deathbed, my Pygmalion

I’d like to reveal what I’ve longed to say

I used to think I was some kind of equal

Before I let you muzzle me as your muse

Now so long, Leonard

It’s time that we began to cry

And laugh and laugh and cry about it all again

Well, you know that I live to love with you

But you make me resent so very much

I resent that I shone out your song

And then your song silenced me in your shade

Now so long, Leonard

It’s time that we began to cry

And laugh and laugh and cry about it all again

We met when I was vulnerable

A single mother with a broken heart

I sailed to you like an island port

And you assumed the role of god

Oh so long, Leonard

It’s time that we began to cry

And laugh and laugh and cry about it all again

Your songs, they say you only meant well

Then why do you treat me so unkind?

I tethered you from melting in the sun,

Then you still took wing and flew away. 

Now so long, Leonard

It’s time that we began to cry

And laugh and laugh and cry about it all again

For now I need your private love

I’m open as a razorcut vein

I left when you told me I was not enough

You were always more than that for me

Oh so long, Leonard

It’s time that we began to cry

And laugh and laugh and cry about it all again

Oh, you are really such a charming one

I see you’ve gone and changed your muse again

I’d still take you back from the wilderness

And dry your feet with my hair

Oh, so long, Marianne

It's time that we began to laugh

And cry and cry and laugh about it all again
