Marigolds are very much in love, but he doesn't mind
Picking up his sister, he makes his way in to the see-saw land
All the way she smiles.
She goes up while 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'll be 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.
