Approaching Lavender Gordon Lightfoot

[Verse 1]
If you'd like to spend an 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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 the words you never spoke before
And could not speak again

[Verse 4]
Oh, sweet lavender, I understand you perfectly
There is no way that I can see
You living by yourself
Oh, sweet lavender, I must be with you constantly
Your presence means so much to me
Much more that life itself
