Marigold Dust (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse 1

Garlands hanging low from the cedar beam

Pouring sweet mint through a silver stream

You kick your woven shoes across the tile

Catching my pulse with an easy smile

Two crushed cloves in the palm of your hand

Pulling me closer than I ever planned

Pre-Chorus

How did one step pull me into your stride?

Where does the light go when the knots untie?

Chorus

Covered in marigold dust

Spinning in the circle where the brass drums beat

Losing my balance, but I call it trust

Dancing in the golden heat

Caught in your marigold dust

Verse 2

Cracked dried citrus on the terracotta plate

Lanterns coming on beside the garden gate

You brush the yellow pollen off your collarbone

Suddenly I never want to walk alone

Thumb on my wrist, counting out the time

Tasting of river water, salt and lime

Pre-Chorus

How did one step pull me into your stride?

Where does the light go when the knots untie?

Chorus

Covered in marigold dust

Spinning in the circle where the brass drums beat

Losing my balance, but I call it trust

Dancing in the golden heat

Caught in your marigold dust

Bridge

I was steady, I was cool as stone

Guarding my quiet like an empty home

Then you took my fingers and the wall gave in

Nothing but fever on my sunburnt skin

Chorus

Covered in marigold dust

Spinning in the circle where the brass drums beat

Losing my balance, but I call it trust

Dancing in the golden heat

Caught in your marigold dust
