| LAVENDER |
| Once there was no world, just a col-or-less void So mon-o-chro-mat-ic the Lord grew an-noyed, So He took out His paint chips and swatch-es and planned, then col-ored it in with a con-sum-mate hand. Red for the sun-set, blue for the o-cean. Yel-low to grow things green. Then God made Lav-en-der for things in-be-tween. Warm in the morn-ing, cool in the eve-ning. Sub-tle but some-how bold. When God made Lav-en-der, I swear He broke the mould. To some it is-n’t “pri -mar -y.” To me it seems pro -found. Peo -ple mis -use it; “Why did you ‘choose’ it.” Why does the earth go round. Pale in the day -break light -ing your pil-low, Deep -en -ing all day through. Why ev -er God made Lav -en -der, It looks di-vine on you. To some it is -n’t “pri -mar -y.” To me it seems pro -found. Peo -ple mis -use it; “Why did you ‘choose’ it.” Why does the earth go round. Fick -le and fool -ish, mood -y at mo -ments. Hard -ly a neu -tral hue. God must have made me Lav -en -der So I would match with you. An A -pril rain; [An Au-gust haze.] A win-ter sky; [An au-tumn blaze.] They tell us: No -where else in na -ture do you find us. Wild flowers re - mind us [<- chorus] Wild flowers re - mind us [<- bass] Who ----- Who but the lord de-signed us [de-signed us?] Red for the sun-set, blue for the o-cean. Yel-low to grow things green. Then God made Lav-en-der for things in-be-tween, in -be -tween Warm in the morn-ing, cool in the eve-ning. Sub-tle but some-how bold.
