Marigold: Gloria Swansong Lyrics - Sing The Hollies - Hollies

(Sylvester / Clarke) 

The book I bought yesterday 

I started to read 

I found a small marigold 

pressed between leaves 

And in that small marigold, 

well, I found a note 

saying, "Please won't you write to me 

'cause I'm so alone" 

So I'm going to write back today 

Yes, I'm going to write right away 

I started "Dear Marigold," 

not knowing her name 

"I just had to write to you 

'cause I feel the same

"You sound like the marigold 

that I found today 

The beauty was there to be found 

but fading away 

"So I'm writing to you today 

Yes, I'm writing to you right away 

As I started writing, 

well what can I say 

I got to thinking 

where are you today 

Brown leather cover, 

ripped, tattered, and torn 

It's been such a long, long time 

since the flower was born 

There's no need to write back today 

I'm not going write right away 

Photos 

Just like a swan she is gliding, 

drifting from here unto there 

She has no thoughts of dying, 

winter does not mean despair 

Warm summer nights left behind her, 

thinking of things that she's done 

Once were her friends all around her, 

but now she is only one 

Swan, swan keep your feet off the ground 

Keep flying around 

It's lonely you've found 

You were left on your own 

You didn't do right 

not to take off and fly 

when your friends left that night 

chorus 

Someday I know you'll see something 

that will bring back the memories of gold 

You'll meet the friends that did leave you 

No more to be left in the cold 

And just like a swan you'll be gliding, 

drifting from here unto there 

You'll have no thoughts of dying 

'cause winter did not mean despair
