Marigolds are very much in love
But he doesn't mind
Picking up sister
He makes his way to 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's selling plastic flowers
On a Sunday afternoon
Picking up weeds
She hasn't got 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
