Lavender

(album: Ixora - 2014)

I kissed you on a lavender hillside in the sun.
You closed your eyes, slept longer.
You're the one that I needed all along, but I can't feel you now.
And in the corner of my heart
I still hold you close,
prop your head up and pull you to your toes when you feel you've fallen down,
but I can't feel you now.
We'd run through the tall grass, ever stumbling,
and never could have known it wouldn't be this way.
But rest here now, I can't go on when all our foolish words are falling in the way.
As time is drifting by, it's all too much to fight through all our tears.
I wake alone, and I come undone, 'cause I can almost feel
your waking eyes
searching for mine,
fighting all your tears.
Now I feel you like sunlight.
Now I feel you, but it burns
and I never sleep 'cause
I can't see into your night.
And now that I see you,
I can't close my eyes.
And if my voice happens to fall on your ears,
I don't know what would happen here.
If this song falls on your ears,
I don't know what would happen here.
