Dandelion Days Lyrics

co-written by richard edghill

we'll look back on our old ways

and call them "dandelion days"

but never, no, never go back

and we'll look back on easy times

and wish that there were dandelions

but in our hearts, you know we can't go back

a flower in a field so plain

says her name is magdalene

she doesn't mind all the change

well, that's just maggie acting strong

her yellow face is battle-born

she never, no, never looks back

well you cut her stem and break her class

put her in a bottle made of glass

fight me on this

if you love me you'll fight me on this

fight me on this

if you love me you'll fight me

love gets warm as loving gets

and you give up meat for cigarettes

and one taste ought to hook her

because it's sugar, yeah, pure sugar

she'll live her life in ginger brew

i wish that i could talk to you

well, a flower's just a flower

if only so an hour

magdalene it's alright to cry

(x1,000)

everything will be all right
