Lavender

Lavender lips on a full, sore mouth

"Where's the parade?" I asked his sleepy face

But my lazy little shadow stayed asleep in bed

Climbed another tree, an altogether different treeAnd you stayed so close beside me

Purring like a pussyI watched the muddy eddies swirl

I swing and swing and watch the water clean

If my wishes were whores then beggars would ride

With Billy bandy knees I watch the water cleanAnd he stayed so close beside me

Purring like a pussyHell's bells, I wouldn't leave you

My my, I wouldn't leave you behind

"When's the parade?" I asked his weepy face

"It's when we're walking side by side, my friend"And you stayed so close beside me

Purring like a pussy
