Marigolds are very much in love
But he doesn't mind
Picking up 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
brother's way to leave
Another time, another day

She'll be selling plastic flowers on a Sunday afternoon
Picking up weeds
Picking up weeds she hasn't got time to care
She grows up for another man
And he's down

Another time, another day
brother's way to leave
Another time, another day

Another time, another day
brother's way to leave
