Marillion:Lavender

From LyricWiki

Marillion
Green

This song is performed by Marillion and appears on the album Misplaced Childhood (1985).

I was walking in the park
Dreaming of a spark,
When I heard the sprinklers whisper, shimmer
In the haze of summer lawns,
Then I heard the children singing,
They were running through the rainbows.
They were singing a song for you.
Well it seemed to be a song for you,
The one I wanted to write for you, for you, you.

Lavenders blue, dilly dilly, lavenders green,
When I am King, dilly dilly, you will be Queen.
A penny for your thoughts my dear,
A penny for your thoughts my dear,
I.O.U. for your love,
I.O.U. for your love.

Lavenders green, dilly dilly, lavenders blue,
When you love me, dilly dilly, I will love you.
A penny for your thoughts my dear,
A penny for your thoughts my dear,
I.O.U. for your love,
I.O.U. for your love.

[edit] Additional lyrics in single version

The 7" single includes all of the above plus the verses below:

Lavender dreams, dilly dilly, lavenders true,
When you missed me, dilly dilly, I did miss you.
A penny for your thoughts my dear,
A penny for your thoughts my dear,
I.O.U. for your love,
I.O.U. for your love
For your love... for your love...
for your love.

Oh, I gotta go back to you,
Gotta find my way back to you.
For your love... for your love...
for your love.

I'm always walking in the park,
Always dreaming of a spark,
From you.
