Marianne And Lenny Lyrics - X-ray Sierra - Tom Cochrane

He sits by the bed 

Watches while she sleeps 

Her favourite book of poems lies 

Just beyond reach 

He walks to the doorway 

He turns before he goes 

She starts to stir as he 

Turns the light down low and says 

You be Marianne and I'll be Lenny 

Together we'll live on the isle of hydra 

There in that land of plenty 

We'll be there till the end of time

Eat tangerines and oranges 

They bring down from the hills 

Drink retsina at the cafe 

And watch, watch what time never kills 

And never grow old 

And never watch old friends die 

And like Peter Pan 

We'll be captain of that steel blue sky 

CHORUS 

Things would be so much simpler then 

No need for fantasy, and no pretense 

Wouldn't watch old friends die 

Captains of our own design 

We'll be there till the end of 

We'll be there till the end of time
