I was walking in the park dreaming of a spark
When I heard the sprinklers whisper
Shimmer in the haze of summer lawns
Then I heard the children sing
They were running through the rainbows
They were singing a song for you
Well it seemed to be a song for you
The one I was trying to write for you

Lavenders blue, dilly dilly, lavenders green
When I am king, dilly dilly, you shall be queen
A penny for your thoughts my dear
A penny for your thoughts my dear
I.O.U. for your love
I.O.U. for your love

Lavenders green, dilly dilly, lavenders blue
When you love me, don't you know that I will love you
A penny for your thoughts my dear
A penny for your thoughts my dear
I.O.U. for your love
I.O.U. for your love, for your love

The sky was Bible black in Lyon
When I met the Magdalene
She was paralyzed in a streetlight
She refused to give her name

And a ring of violet bruises they were pinned upon her arm
Two hundred francs for sanctuary and she led me by the hand
To a room of dancing shadows where all the heartache disappears
And from glowing tongues of candles I heard her whisper in my ear
'J'entend ton coeur', 'j'entend ton coeur'

I can hear your heart, I can hear your heart
I can hear your heart
Hear your heart, I hear your heart
