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

barefoot down the alley in her

and I breathed it in like
lavender!
