Marigold Candlelight Parade

I follow marigold petals down the lane

Soft yellow footsteps after the rain

The court inside's where the candlelight starts

And I carry your name in the corners of my heart

Bread on the table, a photo, a flame

I whisper the stories that still know your name

The pan food trembles through the evening air

Like a hand on my shoulder saying you are there

Follow me home, follow me home

Through the gold and the smoke and the memory stone

Follow me home, where the old love shines

In the bread, in the candles, in the merry-go-rounds

Follow me home, follow me home

We are never alone when the night feels slow

Call and I answer, near and far

You live on the glow of a thousand stars

The streets are alive with the soft beating drum

And every small heartbeat says where we come from

I dance with the waving, I sing with the dead

With your laughter beside me and prayers in my head

Follow me home, follow me home

Through the gold and the smoke and the memory stone

Follow me home where the old love shines

In the bread, in the candles, in the marigold lines

Follow me home, follow home

We are whoever alone when the night feels so

Call and I answer near and far

You live in the glow of a thousand stars

If time tries to take what it cannot keep

Your love wakes like fire from a quiet sleep

And I will remember until I'm gone

The path of the petals, the breath of the dawn

Follow me home, follow me home

Through the gold and the smoke and an emerald storm

Follow me home where the old love shines

In the bread, in the candles, in the marigold vines

Follow me home, follow home

Every name we speak is a light to hold

Call and I answer near and far

You live in the glow of a thousand stars
