Lyrics Marianne And Lenny - 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
He
sits
by
the
bed
Watches
while
she
sleeps
Her
favourite
book
of
poems
lies
Just
beyond
reach
CHORUS
-Apologies

Leonard
Cohen

Hydra
is
pronounced

licence

that
