Lavender

by Marillion

on A Singles Collection 1982-1992: Six of One, Half-Dozen of the Other (1992)

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, for you, you

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's 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

Lavender's green, dilly dilly, lavender's 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's 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
For your love
For your love
Oh I'm gonna turn back to you
Gonna find my way back to you
For your love
For your love
For your love
For your love
I'm always walking in the park
Always dreaming of a spark
For you
