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 cla** Put her in a bottle made of gla** 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 all right to cry (x1,000) Everything will be all right
