Marigold Lyrics

Jackie Greene Marigold

So much depends on first loves and friends
Legs for a table
I, I painted my room with judgments and doom
I still ain't able to sleep

Got to sleep and dream up some dreams I can keep
Oh my, my marigold, marigold

When I was walking at dawn when something turned on
But I couldn't name it
So I, I went back home, I did it alone
I couldn't claim it

I tried, yes I tried, I tried honey I was denied
Oh my, my marigold, marigold

Everything becomes much more meaningless
As time passes by
So I hide in the bedroom with strong curtains drawn
So I can't look the world in the eye

I heard you were well, I heard that you fell
Back on your feet
Me, I'm still in fear, I planted her here
Right in the street

To sleep, so she sleeps and dreams with the orphans and freaks
Oh my, my marigold, marigold

And talk, talk it is cheap, i talk in my sleep
I know what to say
I said, I said you were wise to let go of my eyes
And push me away

And run, yes you run, you run honey nothing gets done
Oh my, my marigold, marigold

All that I've learned
It must be a chemical change
After all I'm no different from the next twisted talker
Who's taking his lies to the grave

I, I wasn't myself, I was nobody else
That I couldn't be
Like you were nobody too to somebody
Who's exactly like me

So sleep, let her sleep and dream up some dreams we can keep
Oh my, my marigold, marigold
My, my marigold, marigold
