Lavender (Marillion song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Lavender" is prog rock band Marillion's second single from their breakthrough album Misplaced Childhood. As the follow-up to the big UK #2 hit "Kayleigh", the song became their second Top 5 UK hit, peaking at #5. After these two singles, none of the group's other songs have peaked inside the Top 5. The song remains their second highest-charting song.

The song features a number of verses that are reminiscent of the folk song Lavender Blue.
