Marigold - Jackie Greene

So much depends on first loves and friends

Legs for a table

And i painted my room

With judgments and doom

But i still ain’t able to sleep

Got to sleep

And dream up some dreams i can keep

Oh my, my marigold, marigold

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

But i couldn’t claim it

I tried, yes i tried

I tried honey i was denied

Oh my, my marigold, marigold

Well everything becomes much more meaningless

As time passes by

So i hide in the bedorom 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

Well 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

Now 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

But 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 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 the dreams we can keep

Oh my, my marigold, marigold
