Lavender

I kissed you on a lavender hillside in the sun.

You closed your eyes, slept longer.

You’re the one that I needed all along, but I can’t feel you now.

And in the corner of my heart

I still hold you close,

prop your head up and pull you to your toes when you feel you’ve fallen down,

but I can’t feel you now.

We’d run through the tall grass, ever stumbling,

and never could have known it wouldn’t be this way.

But rest here now, I can’t go on when all our foolish words are falling in the way.

As time is drifting by, it’s all too much to fight through all our tears.

I wake alone, and I come undone, ‘cause I can almost feel

your waking eyes

searching for mine,

fighting all your tears.

Now I feel you like sunlight.

Now I feel you, but it burns

and I never sleep ‘cause

I can’t see into your night.

And now that I see you,

I can’t close my eyes.

And if my voice happens to fall on your ears,

I don’t know what would happen here.

If this song falls on your ears,

I don’t know what would happen here.
