Lavender Lyrics

Oh the first time that he saw her his heart stood still,

On banks where wild lavender grows.

She was dancing by the shore on a summer's day,

In the shade of the weeping willow.

She glanced in his direction, caught his eye and then she looked away.

Now every time he closed his eyes

He sees her face, and the scent still lingers

For days he hid there waiting to watch me dance

On banks where wild lavender grows

Hidden 'tween the boughs of the willow tree

On the edge of the summer meadow

I glanced in his direction, caught his eye and then I looked away

Now every time I close my eyes,

I see his face, and the scent still lingers

Oh lavender, lavender, lavender,

Brings me closer to her please linger lavender

Oh lavender, lavender, lavender

Brings me closer to her please linger, lavender

Brings me closer my dear please linger

He searched the glade for hours when she was gone,

On banks where wild lavender grows

To find a rose to bring her to declare his love

On the edge of the summer meadow

Away from me, away, you foolish boy

You will never ever have my heart

I'm betrothed to another from far away

Together we shall never be apart

Ignominious and ridiculed he stared dumbstruck at the floor

She turned away and laughed at him and he'd ensure she laughed at him no more

The rock was in his hand and he did what cannot be undone

I fell into the water, and the dark red flowers blossomed

Can't escape the scent of

Wild lavender, lavender, lavender,

Blood ran through his fingers, deep ochre, don't linger

Don't remind him of her, don't linger pure torture

Brings him closer to her lavender, lavender

Brings him closer to her, don't linger

Brings him closer to her, lavender

Meet you by the waters edge

Be with me forever

If I can't have you no one will

Sleep beneath the willow tree

Meet you by the waters edge

I'll haunt you forever

Because you took my life from me

Sleep beneath the willow tree

Meet you by the waters edge

Be with me forever

If I can't have you no one will

Sleep beneath the willow tree

Meet you by the waters edge

I'll haunt you forever

Because you took my life from me

Sleep beneath the willow tree
