(Uh, tell me if it's too much and I'll just stop) You are the purple in the picture on my wall Words of a sonnet I recite behind my door All the equations they could make, apart they fall How long has it been now, Lavender Amelie? Since the day I met you, since the day I set you up in my mind? I make a mirror of your faces and your moods In this abyss of all I miss of how you move Now everyday is an empty space, what's left to lose? How long has it been now, Lavendar Amelie? Since the day I met you, since the day I set you up in my mind? (My mind) How long have you been now, living up there rent free? Feelings hard to sever, not that I could ever decide to try (To try) All that I have left is a distant melody Row me down the river and out into the sea Dance with me a number before they cut the tunes Slow and to the rythmn, we're sailing on the blue How long has it been now Lavender Amelie? Since the day I met you, since the day I set you up in my mind? (My mind) How long have you been now living up there rent free? (Darling) Feelings hard to severe not that I could every decide to try (To try) How long has it been now? (You and me) Since the day I met you, since the day I set you up in my mind? (My mind) All that I have left is a distant melody Row me down the river and out into the sea
