"Lavender" lyrics - KRISTIN HERSH

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 tree

And you stayed so close beside me
Purring like a pussy

I 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 clean

And he stayed so close beside me
Purring like a pussy

Hell'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 we're walking side by side my friend

And you stayed so close beside me
Purring like a pussy
