Description
The second song I wrote that was any good...
And the one that started my career-long love with various forms of waltz time...
This is another from Simply Fine, presented for your listening enjoyment while I try to finish up a couple of collaborations and wait impatiently for my new interface...
Personnel:
Ed Hannifin: lead vocal, harmony vocals, acoustic guitar, high-strung guitar
Phyllis Capanna: harmony vocals, acoustic guitar, piano
John Cunningham: electric fiddle
Dave Neiman: hammer dulcimer
Karen Casey: bass
My old friend Karen Dietz used to perform this in Scotland somewhere, and would introduce it as "a love song for the inarticulate".
I think that's about right.
Hope you like it.

Lyrics
Marigold
Copyright 1978 Ed Hannifin
Take off your shoes, sit yourself down
You know how I crumble when you come around
You know how I need you, but I can’t make a sound
And there’s only my silence to tell you
Only my silence to tell you
My words never did much to tell you
Marigold
Marigold, you know…
A knock at the door, a ring on the phone
You tap at my window when I’m here alone
And I hear you come calling when I’m not at home
And there’s only my absence to tell you
Only my absence to tell you
When I can’t be here how can I tell you
Marigold
Marigold, you know…
If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride
If wishes were kisses, I might be less shy
But wishes don’t help me when you catch my eye
And there’s only my wishes to tell you
Only my wishes to tell you
These wishes could never quite tell you
Marigold
Marigold, you know…
[Break]
Take off your shoes, sit yourself down
You know how I crumble when you come around
You know how I need you, but I can’t make a sound
And there’s only my silence to tell you
Only my silence to tell you
My words never did much to tell you
Marigold
Marigold, you know…

This song is copyrighted before I was conceived but I still like it. Well
mixed and produced. Nice piano, electric violin (such a great tone),
backing vocals, and dulcimer. Nice arrangement and intertwining parts. I
love analog, ahhhhh. Thanks for sharing, nice and dreamy like the fog
lifting on a nice sunny day.
