Gordon Lightfoot - Approaching Lavender lyrics

Approaching Lavender

Gordon Lightfoot

If you'd like to spend an afternoon approaching Lavender

You'll feel just fine but one thing sure

You'll never be the same

If you'd like to try your hand at understanding Lavender

Then you must be very sure that life is not a game

You might even learn a thing or two approaching Lavender

You'll soon be on a one night tour, forgetting your own name

You won't need a reason just to be alone with Lavender

For the light so warm and pure will draw you like a flame

The colors that surround you there will be the shade of Lavender

Shadows dancing everywhere, like flowers in the rain

You will find your tongue's on fire while lying next to Lavender

With words you never spoke before and could not speak again

Oh sweet Lavender I understand you perfectly

There is no way that I can see you living by yourself

Oh sweet Lavender I must be with you constantly

Your presence means so much to me, much more that life itself

Oh sweet Lavender as fragrant as the name you bear

Please cast away the clothes you wear and give your love to me

Oh sweet Lavender your smile is like the golden sun

I'd love to see you laugh and run as naked as the sea

If you'd like to spend an afternoon approaching Lavender

Don't try and get the best of her, she will not share the blame

If you'd like to try your hand at understanding Lavender

Then you must be very sure that life is not a game

There is no shame
