LAVENDER HILL
(Ray Davies)


The Kinks - 1967





I want to walk eternally
In through the land of make believe
And watch the clouds roll over me
And let the sun shine down on me
The only place that I wanna be
Lavender Hill for me

Wish I could live on sugar and milk
Then I could live on Lavender Hill
Then I could raise my head to the sky
And let the sun saturate me with love

I wanna walk you up Lavender Hill
Everybody loves Lavender Hill
Even the bird that sits in the tree
Seems to sing sweet melodies
Even the breeze is whispering
Lavender Hill for me

(Instrumental Break)

While people eat their biscuits with tea
They dream of daffodils that sway in the breeze
And every Sunday afternoon
Tidy ladies shine their shoes
And every little lady dreams
Lavender memories

Lavender Hill for me
Lavender Hill for me
I wanna walk you up Lavender Hill
I wanna walk you up Lavender Hill
