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
