[Verse 1]
Marigolds are very much in love
But he doesn’t mind
Picking up his sister
He makes his way into the see-saw land
All the way
She smiles
She goes up while he goes down, down
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
Another time (Ah-ah)
Another day (Ah-ah)
A brother’s way to leave (Ahh-ah)
Another time (Ah-ah)
Another day (Ah-ah)
[Verse 3]
She’ll be selling plastic flowers
On a Sunday afternoon
Picking up weeds
She hasn’t got the time to care
All can see
He’s not there
She grows up for another man
And he’s down
[Outro]
Another time (Ah-ah)
Another day (Ah-ah)
A brother’s way to leave (Ahh-ah)
Another time (Ah-ah)
Another day
Another time (Ah-ah)
Another day (Ah-ah)
A brother’s way to leave (Ahh-ah)
(Ahh-ah, ahh-ah)
