Marigolds are very much in love   But he doesn't mind   Picking up his sister   He makes his way into the see-saw land   All the way she smiles   She goes up as he goes down   Down      Sits on a stick in the river   Laughter in his sleep   Sister's throwing stones   Hoping for a hit   He doesn't know   So then   She goes up while he goes down   Down      Another time, another day   A brother's way to leave   Another time, another day      She was selling plastic flowers on a Sunday afternoon   Picking up weeds   She hasn't got the time to care   All can see   He's not there   She grows up for another man   And he's down      Another time, another day   A brother's way to leave   Another time, another day   Another time, another day   A brother's way to leave
