Leonard & Marianne (ARTE Live at Turner Contemporary)

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

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

Never take me back again

'Cause you know just what you'll get

You know just what you'll get

You show 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've taken Manhattan

Well, you're back on Hydra and dressed in white cotton, oh, oh-oh

But in my head, I'm miles away

Back on the island again

I'm laying with you, Marianne

In my head, rolling 'round our bed

We are an island again

I'm Leonard and you're Marianne

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

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 the song to betray ya

In my head, I'm miles away

Back on the island again

I'm laying with you, Marianne

In my head, rolling 'round our bed

We are an island again

I'm Leonard and you're Marianne

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
