[Verse 1]
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
[Hook]
She goes up while he goes down, down
[Verse 2]
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
[Hook]
She goes up while he goes down, down
[Bridge]
Another time, aaah
Another day, aaah
A brother’s way to leave
Another time, aaah
Another day, aaah
[Verse 3]
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
[Hook 2]
She grows up for another man, and he’s down
[Outro]
Another time, another day
A brother’s way to leave
Another time, another day
Another time, another day
A brother’s way to leave
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
[Hook]
She goes up while he goes down, down
[Verse 2]
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
[Hook]
She goes up while he goes down, down
[Bridge]
Another time, aaah
Another day, aaah
A brother’s way to leave
Another time, aaah
Another day, aaah
[Verse 3]
She’ll be selling plastic flowers
On a Sunday afternoon
Picking up weeds, she hasn’t got the time to care
All can see

[Outro]
Another time, another day
A brother’s way to leave
Another time, another day
Another time, another day
