See-Saw

Marigolds are very much in love

But he doesn't mind

Picking up his sister

He makes his way into the see-saw land

All the way up she smiles

She goes up while he goes down

Down

Sits on a stick in the river

Laughter in his sleep

Sister's throwing stones

Hopin' for a hit

He doesn't know, so then

She goes up while he goes down

Down

Another time, another day

A brother's way to leave

Another time, another day

Day, day, day

She's selling plastic flowers on a Sunday afternoon

Picking up weeds, she hasn't got time to care

All can see he's not there

She grows up for another man

And he's down

Another time, another day

A brother's way to leave

Another time, another day

Another time, another day

A brother's way to leave
