The Marsh
Harmony in Nature: Tales of Friendship Down by the Marsh
Lyrics
Down by the marsh where it feels so harsh
Depicting a harsh environment in the marsh
But you just found Marj today
Marj's recent presence is noted
You'll become one with the trees and the bugs
Connecting oneself with nature (trees, bugs)
And frogs aren't afraid to play
Noting the fearlessness of frogs in this habitat
Go see them, All your friends
Encouraging interaction with friends (possibly in the marsh)
Ignorance, Don't leave them
Warning against ignorance or abandonment of friends
In the wintertime it'll fall like slush, it'll make you mush
Describing the harshness of winter (falling slush)
In the summertime it'll make you high, might make you cry
Highlighting the transformative or emotional effects of summer
In the wintertime it'll fall like slush, it'll make you mush
Reiteration of the impact of winter on emotions (repeating line 7)
In the summertime it'll make you high, might make you cry
Reiteration of the impact of summer on emotions (repeating line 8)
Down by the farm you can sound the alarm
Transition to the farm setting without harm
It'll do no harm today
Emphasizing the harmless nature of the farm
Marj saw Timm, Tom was holdin Jim's limb
Detailing a scene involving Marj, Timm, Tom, and Jim's limb
I guess Jim couldn't stand to play
Suggesting Jim's inability to participate due to injury or incapacity
Go see them, All your friends
Encouragement to visit friends again
Ignorance, Don't leave them
Reiterating the warning against ignorance or abandonment
In the wintertime it'll fall like slush, it'll make you mush
Repeating the description of harsh winter conditions
In the summertime it'll make you high, might make you cry
Repeating the transformative or emotional effects of summer
In the wintertime it'll fall like slush, it'll make you mush
Reiteration of the impact of winter on emotions (repeating line 17)
In the summertime it'll make you high, might make you cry
Reiteration of the impact of summer on emotions (repeating line 18)
Down by the marsh
Repetition emphasizing the location, possibly for emphasis or closure
Down by the marsh
-Down by the marsh
