Album: A Saucerful Of Secrets

"Marigolds are very much in love
but he doesn't mind
pickin' up sister

he makes his way in to the see-saw land
all the way up she smiles
she goes up while he goes 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
Another time, another day
a brother's way to leave
another time, another day day day

She was selling plastic flowers
on a sunday afternoon
pickin' 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
