Leonard & Marianne (ARTE Live at Turner Contemporary)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I missed you tonight at the party Oh, oh oh New York ain't a place to feel lonely Oh, oh oh So I left with a stranger who knew me Oh, oh oh She's sleeping beside me now peacefully Oh, oh oh [Chorus] But in my head I'm miles away Back on the island again Laying with you, Marianne In my head Rolling 'round our bed We are an island again I'm Leonard and you're Marianne [Post-Chorus] Never take me back again 'Cause you know just what you'll get You know just what you'll get [Verse 2] You showed me the bird on the wire Oh, oh oh You gave me my songs and my future Oh, oh oh And I guess you could say that I'vе taken Manhattan While you're back on Hydra and drеssed in white cotton Oh, oh oh [Chorus] But in my head I'm miles away Back on the island again Laying with you, Marianne In my head Rolling 'round our bed We are an island again I'm Leonard and you're Marianne [Post-Chorus] Never take me back again 'Cause you know just what you'll get You know just what you'll get I beg you, never take me back again 'Cause you know just what you'll get But I go there in my head [Bridge] At the Chelsea Hotel Wasted in the arms of a stranger Every little detail Written in a song that betrays ya At the Chelsea Hotel I'm wasted in the arms of a stranger Every little detail Written in a song that betrayed ya [Chorus] In my head I'm miles away Back on the island again Laying with you, Marianne In my head Rolling 'round our bed We are an island again I'm Leonard and you're Marianne [Post-Chorus] Never take me back again 'Cause you know just what you'll get You know just what you'll get I beg you, never, never take me back again 'Cause you know just what you'll get But I go there in my head
