0:00Approaching Lavender - Gordon Lightfoot
0:10If you'd like to spend the afternoon approaching lavender
0:14You'll feel just fine but one thing's sure
0:16You'll never be the same
0:20If you'd like to try your hand at understanding lavender
0:25Then you must be very sure
0:27That life is not a game
0:31You might even learn a thing or two approaching lavender
0:35You'll soon be on a one night tour
0:38Forgetting your own name
0:42You won't need a reason just to be alone with lavender
0:46For the light so warm and pure
0:49Will draw you like a flame
0:57The colors that surround you there will be the shade of lavender
1:02Shadows dancing everywhere
1:04Like flowers in the rain
1:08You will find your tongue's on fire while lying next to lavender
1:12With words you never spoke before
1:15And will not speak again
1:19Oh sweet lavender I understand you perfectly
1:23There is no way that I can see
1:26You living by yourself
1:29Oh sweet lavender I must be with you constantly
1:34Your presence means so much to me
1:36Much more that life itself
1:45Oh sweet lavender as fragrant as the name you bear
1:49Please cast away the clothes you wear
1:52And give your love to me
1:56Oh sweet lavender your smile is like the golden sun
2:00I'd love to see you laugh and run
2:02As naked as the sea
2:14If you'd like to spend the afternoon approaching lavender
2:18Don't try and get the best of her
2:20She will not share the blame
2:24If you'd like to try your hand at understanding lavender
2:29Then you must be very sure
2:31That life is not a game
2:34There is no shame
