Marigold Girl

(album: The Valentine LP - 2013)

Marigold girl, what do you want from me?
Marigold girl, I know who I want to be, with
You can tell me the truth
You could offer me proof
Proof that you were a god
A God who wants the best for me
Baby can't you see darling
That I

I wouldn't believe a word you say you're gonna love me anyway
Even if you give all that you got
And it turns out that you were a god
I cannot be with you my marigold girl

Marigold girl, we burn in the light of day
Marigold girl, the two of you cannot stay here
They will discover you soon
And it only rains when it's June
Yeah we might look the same when it's grey
But springtime is starting to fade again
And you have to heed my warning
Cause they

They can't even hear the words I say
And they're gonna take you anyway
Even if I give all that I got
And it turns out that I was a god
I could not stop them my marigold girl

I'm happy you found someone new
Somebody who knows what to do
I watch you sometimes in the rain
Do you ever think of me then
Remember what I used to be
Don't you ever try answering me
And now that you're reading my note
And you have figured out what has happened to me
I know

That you will believe these words I say
And most of you will escape today
And know that I've loved you every day
Every day that we've been apart
Even though it is breaking my heart

I cannot be with you my marigold girl
I cannot be with you my marigold girl
I cannot be with you my marigold girl
