Now the winter's nearly gone
And the living come alive, Marianne.
But April's getting harder every year
But you get harder to survive.
Baby, baby
No more cooing like a dove.
I hate love.
Now the night is nearly gone
But the fever won't subside, Marianne
I'm making it a part of me,
I thought I'd long since given up and died
Baby, baby
push moves on to shove.
I hate love.
So I'm sitting here alone,
It's nearly getting light, Marianne.
Wait a little longer there's a chance
The day might turn back into night.
Baby, baby
And that's half the battle won.
So I'm waiting for the sun.
Waiting for the sun.
You tell me I'm the friend you'll miss,
well if I didn't love you girl, my God,
I'd hate you for this.
But I'm tryin, tryin
I know it must be borne
So I'm waiting for the dawn.
Waiting for the dawn. (x3)
