The Marigold Note

[Intro]
[Verse]
Sun-bleached paper in a tin
Where the story should begin
Faded ink and crinkled edges
Tracing lines across the hedges
Grandma’s handwriting is thin
Let the afternoon sink in
[Verse]
Snapdragons from ninety-four
Spilled across the dusty floor
I can smell the dampest clay
On this golden Saturday
Wish I’d asked for just one more
Story 'bout the kitchen door
[Chorus]
Oh, the harvest of the heart
Everything is just a start
In a pocket, in a hand
Seeds across the quiet land
Time is tearing us apart
But love is a living art
[Post-Chorus]
Planting the light
Holding it tight
Growing just right
[Verse]
Bumblebees hum in the weeds
Guarding all the sleeping seeds
Cottage walls are overgrown
Places only we have known
Filling all my quiet needs
Where the wild ivy leads
[Pre-Chorus]
I didn't say it all back then
Now I'm holding up the pen
Writing notes on every fold
Turning silver into gold
[Chorus]
Oh, the harvest of the heart
Everything is just a start
In a pocket, in a hand
Seeds across the quiet land
Time is tearing us apart
But love is a living art
[Bridge]
Wurlitzer keys soft and low
Watching how the shadows grow
A little bit of sweet regret
For the things I haven't met
But the garden seems to know
It’s okay to let it go
[Hook]
Marigold, marigold
Stories that were never told
Marigold, marigold
Something new to have and hold
[Verse]
One small seed inside my coat
Like a tiny secret note
For the windowsill at home
Where the city spirits roam
In this little wooden boat
Keeping memories afloat
[Chorus]
Oh, the harvest of the heart
Everything is just a start
In a pocket, in a hand
Seeds across the quiet land
Time is tearing us apart
But love is a living art
[Post-Chorus]
Planting the light
Holding it tight
Growing just right
[Outro]
