Verse 1:
Love like a summer child
Bask in the sun of your reverie
Hear the bluebirds perking wild
Place your faith in the serendipity
Gone it may be, the passerby daffodils
But my love just bloomed in the dale
Marigold Marigold
Have you been sent to love me well?
Pre-Chorus:
Love this summer child
Wayward, unkempt and wild
I am the dreamer and the dreamed
Sprung from the last chimes of bluebells
Chorus:
Love free
Love wild
Love is gentle like Lily of the Nile
Love is the summer wine mild
Love is the marigold caressing me
Like you are always
Like you are now
The marigold and the summer child
The marigold and the summer child
The marigold
The summer child
The summer child
Unkempt and wild
Bridge:
Alas the summer will always leave
As leaves fall in the young boy’s dream
To kiss the earth and dust of eternity
And leave only impermanence to me
Verse 2:
Love is always for the beguiled
But never trust your memories
Clever the disguises of bluebells
They were not chimes but knells
Softly the sunflowers gaze fell
And my love withered and paled
Marigold Marigold
Your love is the fool’s gold now
Pre-Chorus:
Grief my summer child
Into the swamp you fell
I was the dreamer and the dreamed
It’s time to wake, wilt, and wither now
Chorus:
Love escapes
Love wilts
Love is the flower morning glory
Love’s in the blue hydrangea dwells
Love in the marigold’s fiery envy melts
Like you were never
But you are now
The marigold and the summer child
The marigold and the summer child
The marigold
The summer child
The summer child
Withers and wilts
CODA:
Summer will always leave
Summer will always leave
Summer will always leave
As summer turns to autumn leaves
Summer Child
