Marcy in a coat of flowers Stops inside a candy storeBits are sweet and greens are sour Still no letter at her doorSo she'll wash her flower curtains Hang them in the wind to dryDust her tables with his shirt And wave another day goodbyeMarcy's faucet needs a plumber Marcy's sorrow needs a manRed is autumn, green is summer Greens are turning and the sandAll along the ocean beaches Stares up empty at the skyMarcy buys a bag of peaches Stops a postman passing byAnd summer goes, falls to the sidewalk Like string and brown paperWinter blows up from the river There's no one to take herTo the seaMarcy leaves and doesn't tell us Where or why she moved awayRed is angry, green is jealous That was all she had to saySomeone thought they saw her Sunday Window shopping in the rainSomeone heard she bought a one-way Ticket and went west again
