[Verse 1]
The word that you had found for me
That favorite sound of mine
It swayed under your canopy
To fill the end of time

[Pre-Chorus]
I was the only one this century
To remind you all is fine
With any truth there is a mystery
With a vision so divine

[Chorus]
I wish that I had met you
When your heart was safe to hold
When you were simple and fancy
In that field of marigolds

[Verse 2]
And when you burned the sentiment
Like a candle next to mine
The southern wind, it kept the flame
Flickering in time

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanted everything to be confused
And the mission not aligned
But when I looked into your sacred eyes
I was empty with no surprise
[Chorus]
When I wasn't so happy
I would say a prayer of old
When we were simple and fancy
In that field of marigolds

[Bridge]
I wish that I could grow up with you
I want to see the world the way you do
I want to fall off the edge with you
I want to fall with you

[Pre-Chorus]
I was the only one this century
To remind you all is fine
With any truth there is a mystery
With a vision so divine

[Chorus]
I wish that I had met you
When your heart was safe to hold
When you were simple and fancy
In that field of marigolds
