Lyrics - Lavender by Marillion

(derek dick, steve rothery, mark kelly, pete trewavas, ian mosley)
I was walking in the park
Dreaming of a spark
When
I heard the sprinklers whisper
Shimmer in the haze of summer lawns.
Then
I heard the children singing
They were running through the rainbows.
They were singing a song for you
Well it seemed to be a song for you
The one
I wanted to write for you
Lavenders blue, dilly dilly, lavenders green
When
I am king, dilly dilly
You will be queen
A penny for your thoughts my dear
A penny for your thoughts my dear
I.o.u. for your love
I.o.u. for your love
Lavenders green, dilly dilly, lavenders blue
When you love me, dilly dilly,
I will love you
A penny for your thoughts my dear
A penny for your thoughts my dear
I.o.u. for your love
I.o.u. for your love
Lavender dreams dilly, dilly lavender true
When you miss me dilly dilly,
I did miss you
A penny for your thoughts my dear
A penny for your thoughts my dear
I.o.u for your love
I.o.u. for your love
For your love
Blue angel
The sky was
Bible black in lyon
When
I met the magdalene
She was paralyzed in a streetlight
She refused to give her name
And a ring of violet bruises
They were pinned upon her arm
Two hundred francs for sanctuary and she led me by the hand
To a room of dancing shadows
Where all the heartache disappears
And from glowing tongues of candles
I heard her whisper in my ear’j’entend ton coeur’, ’j’entend ton coeur’
I can hear your heart,
I can hear your heart,
I can hear your heart
Hear your heart.
I hear your heart
