from the songs album Little Leviathan
(michelle lewis)
Drawn by your colors i could scale the garden wall
Past the "don't enter" signs and trying not to fall (and break my neck)
I should pick roses but i can't do as i am told
And you look so pretty in the light i want a bunch to hold
Watch each step i take so carefully
'cause one false move and you're screamin'
Don't tread on me, don't tread on me, no
Mr. marigold, i want your hand to hold
But the farmer's daughter's chasing me away
Laying my head down in a patch of orange and green
The smell in the air is strong, still i can't make myself leave
You're my temptation 'cause those petals look so sweet
I thought you were gentle but you're not
And you're poisonous to eat
Caught green-handed trying to sneak you out
With yellow on my chin and a stem in my mouth
Then i whispered too loudly
Mr. marigold, i want your hand to hold
But the farmer's daughter's chasing me away
And i want my soul again, i want my heart to mend
But mr. marigold won't let me stay
Woohoowoohoo...
I watch each step i take so carefully, carefully
'cause one false move and you're screamin'
Don't tread on me, don't tread on me, no
Mr. marigold i want your hand to hold
But the farmer's daughter's chasing me away
I want my soul again, i want my heart to mend
But mr. marigold, mr. marigold
Oh mr. marigold, i want your hand to hold
But the farmer's daughter's chasing me away
I want my soul again i want my heart to mend
But mr. marigold, mr. marigold...
