Marjorie

Tomato plant in a sky blue bucket
Cactus cutting in her apron pocket
Pumpkin in the porch just about to fall
And a rocking chair slapping up against the wall

Marjorie your garden’s growing
In your shoes, they’re over flowing
Plants that talk to the sky and a sparkling in your eye

Seedlings start just an inch below the ground
Plant a seed in an old hat found
Picking weeds as the porch light flickers
Leave the dandelions in the sequin slippers

Marjorie your garden’s growing
In your shoes, they’re over flowing
On your own in the pale moon light
Your garden holds your hand tonight

Watcha gonna do when winter comes around
Cold wind blowing makes a howling sound

Overalls wearing out getting holes in the knees
Hat begins to crumble and your shoes fall apart
Time is a passing and your garden will start
Putting roots in the ground with the patience that you bring
And the seedlings hold out ‘til the first sign of spring
The seedlings hold out ‘til the first sign of spring
The seedlings hold out ‘til the first sign of spring
The seedlings- the seedlings -the seedlings-- the seedlings

Marjorie your garden’s growing
In your shoes, they’re over flowing
On your own in the pale moon light
Your garden holds your hand tonight
