Lavender upon the steam
Half the way into a dream
Warm water to my weary bones
The day dissolves in gentle tones
The candle wobbles on the shelf
I'm handing back my busy self
Be still, it says — I'm learning how
There is nothing needed now
Lavender and letting go
Every hurry, every no
Soak the trouble out tonight
Come out soft and come out light
The mirror fogs, the world goes blurred
The kindest hour, not a word
I wrap up in the biggest towel
And thank the evening for its while
Lavender and letting go
Every hurry, every no
Soak the trouble out tonight
Come out soft and come out light
Washed and warm and made anew
Evening mercy, gentle dew
Lavender and letting go
Every hurry, every no
Soak the trouble out tonight
Come out soft and come out light
Lavender upon the steam
Half the way into a dream
