Lavender Blue | Session 7

Lavender Blue:
A Poem in 30 Songs

Runtime: 1hr 41min

this one’s
for that
Time of the Season
when I get sad, a
Season Suite: Late Winter, Early Spring
singing I’m
Lavender Blue (Dilly Dilly)
sometimes feeling silly (silly)

You Are My Sunshine
at the time of year when sunshine is rare

I hum
Kiss the Girl – From “The Little Mermaid”
and
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving
drinking
Scotch and Soda
watching the
Early Morning Rain
it never gets that cold ‘round here
just so very (very) grey

I met a
Wayfaring Stranger
on a
Saturday Night at the Movies
before saying 
Adieu
he asked
Is That All There Is?

I still see the
Colours
of his
Morning Nightcap
hear his morning
Bird Song
smell
The Wild Mountain Thyme
outside his door
feel the
Boots of Spanish Leather
a gift, before the dance
The Lovers’ Waltz Duet
and
8 Humoresques, Opus 101
[whispering in a foreign tongue]
Poco lento e grazioso

now, I see
The Gathering of Spirits
when I go
Down to the River to Pray
hearing
Tennessee Waltz
in my mind, asking

Where Have All the Average People Gone?
where has he gone?

though I
Keep on the Sunny Side
I think
I’ll Fly Away
Across the Great Divide

to find
The Yellow Rose of Texas

I Love 
Anyone Who Knows What Love Is

and still
No Other Love
will do
