Marigold

Written by Mark Linkous

LYRICS
Drifted off to sleep
Try and steal some peace
All of our tomorrows
Will be yesterdays again
Oh wake up Marigold
Come in
Oh come in
I caught a little hawk
Put him in a box
Look like he’d been shot
I tried to find his kin
Wake up Marigold
Come in
Oh come in
My granddaddy’s grapes
Grew around his stakes
Returned to the earth
Oh just like him
Wake up Marigold
Come in
Oh come in
And baby will one day
We’ll evaporate
Maybe we’ll be stars
Or honey in a jar
And I’ll be made of tin
Wake up Marigold
Come in
Oh come in
I used to think the hills
Were giants lying still
That someday they’d awake
Overturn the lakes
Wake up Marigold
Wake up Marigold
Wake up Marigold
Come in
Oh come in
