I was walking in the park dreaming of a spark
When I heard the sprinklers whisper, Shimmer in the haze of summer lawns.
Then I heard the children singing, They were running through the rainbows.
They were singing a song for you.
Well it seemed to be a song for you, the one I wanted to write
for you, for you, you.
Lavenders blue, dilly dilly, lavenders green.
When I am King, dilly dilly, you will be Queen.
A penny for your thoughts my dear, A penny for your thoughts my dear, I.O.U. for your love, I.O.U. for your
love.
Lavenders green, dilly dilly, lavenders blue.
When you love me, dilly dilly, I will love you.
A penny for your thoughts my dear, A penny for your thoughts my dear, I.O.U. for your love, I.O.U. for your love.
For your love, for your love, for your love.

For your love, for your love, for your love.

adapted from the childrens song. beautiful song about love
On the version, which is off the Misplaed Childhood album. I have it then goes on to say:
Lavender dreams, dilly dilly, lavender's true, When you miss me, dilly dilly, I will miss you. A penny for your thoughts my dear, A penny for your thoughts my dear, I.O.U. for your love, I.O.U. for your love. For your love, for your love, for your love.
Oh I'm gonna give it back to you. I'm gonna give it back to you. Gonna finally give it back to you [not sure that's right] For your love, for your love, for your love.
I'm always walking in the park, Always dreaming of a spark, from you.
But yeah, it's an amazing song, obviously about love. The reference to the children's song makes it seem so innocent and pure. It's got such an obvious meaning but never fails to make me think.
