Marigold - Count Zero
You and I are one
In fear of loneliness
And danger of neglect
We're apt to wither in distress
Cold rush of water fills
This rusted tin of corn
And all to risk a prick
From your neighbor Rose's thorn
Come on Marigold
Where's that geekish grace
The moon is mute and cold
Let your sweet breath fill the space
Soon you will bloom into
A woman pure and royal
You'll be released for good
From the black prison of this soil
I'll show you to the streams
We'll run through woods and moors
'Til you can smell the sea
Watch the tides embroider shores
Come on Marigold
When will the sun replace
Your leaves with arms to hold
And your petals with a face
They placed you on the sun drenched side
And whispered while the earth around you dried
Your throat quenched only 'cause you cried
While everything you'd grown up with had died
All you had died
Come on Marigold
When will the sun replace
Your leaves with arms to hold
And your petals with a face
Come on Marigold
Where's that geekish grace
The gods are growing old
Tell you when can we embrace
Tell me when can we embrace
Tell me when can we embrace
Tell me when can we embrace
Come on Marigold
Come on Marigold
Come on Marigold
Come on Marigold
Come on Marigold
