Lyric

Lavender upon the steam

Half the way into a dream

Warm water to my weary bones

The day dissolves in gentle tones

The candle wobbles on the shelf

I'm handing back my busy self

Be still, it says — I'm learning how

There is nothing needed now

Lavender and letting go

Every hurry, every no

Soak the trouble out tonight

Come out soft and come out light

The mirror fogs, the world goes blurred

The kindest hour, not a word

I wrap up in the biggest towel

And thank the evening for its while

Lavender and letting go

Every hurry, every no

Soak the trouble out tonight

Come out soft and come out light

Washed and warm and made anew

Evening mercy, gentle dew

Lavender and letting go

Every hurry, every no

Soak the trouble out tonight

Come out soft and come out light

Lavender upon the steam

Half the way into a dream
