Lavender



There's a certain fragrance I have found
of which I just cannot get enough,
so sometimes just to remind myself
of all the things in this life that I love.
I reach into a vase of dried flowers
and break out a sprig of lavender.
I pluck the dried flowers right off
one by one.
I crush the flowers 'tween my fingers
one by one,
and really breathe it in!

I wanna breathe in this life like lavender,
just seems a shame not to breathe it in.
I wanna breathe in this life like lavender,
really breathe it in!

Sometimes I get to feeling lonely,
feeling sorry for myself.
I wish I could take that self-pity
and crash it down, right off the shelf.
Sometimes it just can take someone
to reach in and break me out of this hell.
She bonked me on the head with a bunch of lavender,
with a smile so sweet and light as a breath.
She had no way of knowing I love lavender,
barefoot down the alley in her bridesmaid dress,
and I breathed it in like lavender!

She anointed my head with a bunch of lavender,
barefoot down the alley in her bridesmaid dress,
and I breathed it in like lavender!
