Lavender Songtext
von Oneida

She held out lavender on such a winter′s day
I put it in my mouth and then I went away
The forest was a child and gleaming all around
The serpent led the way but was never never never never found


Crush all the petals and it turns into a wine
Glass idols sit and stare alone among their shrines
Cut throat on leaves of grass the poet drinks a spill
Extract his blood but thou should never never never never kill

The land is barren now the sea chews on the cliffs
I wander lonely as a cloud among the drifts
The old men love me as I braid my pubic hair
And all the while it's like I′m never never never never there
