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 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 when we're walking side by side, my friend"

And you stayed so close beside me
Purring like a pussy
