Matt Deighton - Marmalade Moon Lyrics

Born in a prefab with roses that climbed
Up past my window way up to the light
And lettuce and beetroot grew in the ground
And my childhood sweetheart was always around
We grew up together and drifted away
We both had a family and cherished that day
When we'd be together as youngsters in bloom
I'd often look back at that marmalade moon

Marmalade moon, marmalade moon
Marmalade moon, marmalade moon

Three decades later and she just appeared
From out of nowhere she came back to here
But somehow her story was shadowed with fear
Her husband came back and made it quite clear
That she wasn't going to spend time with me
So he took her life in his mad jealousy
The kid in the garden, the jewel in my crown
Has met with the angels and I'm still around

Marmalade moon, marmalade moon
Marmalade moon, marmalade moon

Born in a prefab I'm one man in prayer
I long for the tom boy but she is not there
The dream maybe over but the roses still bloom
As I climb up high to that marmalade moon

Marmalade moon, marmalade moon
Marmalade moon, marmalade moon
