lyrics

Marigolds in the wind made my brother sneeze.
We spent our days in fallow fields, climbing up apple trees.

Ponds behind our house held treasures of the land.
Frogs and turtles, hard to catch, held proudly in our hands.

Oh the lovely days, we were young, we were free.
Grew up in a small town that couldn't hold onto me.

Sailboats on the lake went round and round and round.
The smell of smoke upon the air, leaves gathered on the ground.

And oh the lovely days, we were young, we were free.
Grew up in a small town that couldn't hold onto me.
Oh all the lovely days, still alive in a memory.
Grew up in a small town that couldn't hold onto me.

Marigolds in the wind made my brother sneeze.
We spent our days in fallow fields, climbing up apple trees.
