Approaching Lavender Lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot

Approaching Lavender Lyrics

    If you'd like to spend the afternoon approaching lavender
    You'll feel just fine but one thing's 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 will not speak again

    Oh sweet lavender i understand you perfectly
    There is no way that i can see
    You living by yourself
    Oh sweet lavendar 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 the 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
