Tried

Painted a flower, painted the sun
The lavender woman, blocking my vision
My aching feeling, killing the fun
Oh my, oh my
The pain inside

Fields of lilac, I'm undecided
Love defied that won't grow
Need you so
Fields of lilac, our worlds divided
Sky decided to fall
I need you so

I tried to find joy, tried to find ease
When will the storm desist?
August of rain, who is my pleading?
The pain inside of me
Lord, I have tried, been holding it in
Both my hands were tied
I tried, I tried, I tried

Moon mirror, make a new start
She's losing her fever
Make him believe her
Silver ribbon, take me apart

This lavender woman, blocking my vision
Seeing you smiling, playing the part
Oh my, oh my
The pain inside

Fields of lilac, I'm undecided
Love defied that won't grow
Need you so

I tried to find joy, tried to find ease
When will the storm desist?
August of rain, who is my pleading?
The pain inside of me
Lord, I have tried, been holding it in
Both my hands tied
I tried, I tried, Lord, I tried

I tried to find joy, I tried to find ease
When will the storm desist?
August of rain, who is my pleading?
Pain inside of me
Lord, I have tried, been holding it in
Both my hands tied
I tried, I tried, I tried
