Michelle Lewis – Mr. Marigold

(Michelle Lewis)

Drawn by your colors I could scale the garden wall

Past the "Don't Enter" signs and trying not to fall (and break my neck)

I should pick roses but I can't do as I am told

And you look so pretty in the light I want a bunch to hold

Watch each step I take so carefully

'Cause one false move and you're screamin'

Don't tread on me, don't tread on me, no

Mr. Marigold, I want your hand to hold

But the farmer's daughter's chasing me away

Laying my head down in a patch of orange and green

The smell in the air is strong, still I can't make myself leave

You're my temptation 'cause those petals look so sweet

I thought you were gentle but you're not

And you're poisonous to eat

Caught green-handed trying to sneak you out

With yellow on my chin and a stem in my mouth

Then I whispered too loudly

Mr. Marigold, I want your hand to hold

But the farmer's daughter's chasing me away

and I want my soul again, I want my heart to mend

But Mr. Marigold won't let me stay

woohoowoohoo...

I Watch each step I take so carefully, carefully

'Cause one false move and you're screamin'

Don't tread on me, don't tread on me, no

Mr. Marigold I want your hand to hold

But the farmer's daughter's chasing me away

I want my soul again, I want my heart to mend

But Mr. Marigold, Mr. Marigold

Oh Mr. Marigold, I want your hand to hold

But the farmer's daughter's chasing me away

I want my soul again I want my heart to mend

But Mr. Marigold, Mr. Marigold...
