lyrics

Marigold

You wear your love on your coat,
Doused in yearning, the core of your condition,
Words like fire on your throat,
Thoughts all dire, Flyers for the final show,
And I know I wouldn’t play the part well,
See now time is of the essence,
Please.. You know it wasn’t very hard.

I know your spirits' on the road,
Your troubled house, the vigil of your mantle,
Your Wild figure I have shown,
Your armored guard, your vision in the Marigold,
And I see you’ve known a lot of heartbreak,
And granted, I’ve made a lot of mistakes before..
But I’d give you all I got.

Maybe Time has lost its hold,
Maybe now you’re lost in the middle,
I know you’re gone now, so I’m told,
Perhaps age was an excuse for the lesser,
and no, I’m not certain anymore, I could be living next door!
You wouldn’t know, I’m too foreign.
But I loved you so much more

Yes I know I wouldn’t play the part well,
See now time is of the essence,
Please.. You know it wasn’t very hard.
