She told me all we have is trading cards and common sense
Nothing that's worth keeping to yourself
Shadow lays in Roosevelt's
Souvenirs up on the shelf
Name the days and seasons as they go

Quiet on the water line reminds me of a simpler time
Beauty in the letting go
Skipping stones and marigolds
Talking for a memory
Remind me of what used to be
Beauty in the letting go
Skipping stones

And marigolds
Marigolds, marigolds, marigolds
Marigolds, marigolds, marigolds, marigolds

She told me she believes in sunsets
Making up the meaning as we go
Mission bells and morning light
Paint the pictures in my mind
All we have is all we need to hold

Quiet on the water line reminds me of a simpler time
Beauty in the letting go
Skipping stones and marigolds
Talking for a memory
Remind me of what used to be
Beauty in the letting go
Skipping stones

And marigolds
Marigolds, marigolds, marigolds
Marigolds, marigolds, marigolds, marigolds

She told me all we have is trading cards and common sense
Nothing that's worth keeping to yourself
