Lavender - Avantasia, Bob Catley

They were taking small pains

To not make him realize

Made him feel he’s different

Through and through

A monster in his own way

Communicative quarantine

Unleashed on the world without a clue

Surrounded by the ghosts of paling pictures

They come and slip away

Vivid memories roll and spin

If only they would suck me in

We’re going up like fire in

Just the blink between the dream

And the memories and the embers

Of what we’d hoped it all would be

Breathing odour of lavender

And it’s all coming back to me

Wish I didn’t fail to say those

Words before you’d have to leave

A soul, a storm, a journey across the waves

Here I stand and survey

What the Father’s cast my way

A wind got up to bode times of change

I close the door behind me

Know the day break is too far

Me and who I was:

Alone, estranged

Surrounded by the scent invoking pictures

Gone and yet so clear

Vivid memories roll and spin

If only they would suck me in

We’re going up like fire in

Just the blink between the dream

And the memories and the embers

Of what we’d hoped it all would be

Breathing odour of lavender

And it’s all coming back to me

Wish I didn’t have to see now

What back then I didn’t see

A soul, a storm, a journey across the waves

The crazy part ain’t dreaming, wishing on a falling star

It’s the world that’s in between the cope and you

I close my eyes and see a magic world in sepia

That cast me out onto a road without a clue

We’re going up like fire in

Just the blink between the dream

And the memories and the embers

Of what we’d hoped it all would be

We’re going up like fire in

Just the blink between the dream

And the memories and the embers

Of what we’d hoped it all would be

Breathing odour of lavender

And it’s all coming back to me

Wish I didn’t fail to say those

Words before you’d have to leave

A soul, a storm, a journey across the waves

A soul, a storm, a journey across the waves

A soul, a storm, a journey across the waves
