Marigold Gloria Swansong

Hollies - Marigold; Gloria Swansong INTRO:         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" CHORUS: 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 that marigold That I found today The beauty was there to be found But fading away CHORUS: 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 CHORUS: There’s no need to write back today I’m not going to write right away____                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 BRIDGE: 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 INSTRUMENTAL:              BRIDGE: 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 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
