Rhoda In the Sky With Diamonds

i see you in lavender
bathed in my kisses
i look for my Mrs
and look to the sky

something then beacons me 
i answer quite slowly
the girl in pajamas
is asking me why

hills never end
where does ocean begin
and pillows lay down
when we sigh

where is the truth
when we dream in our youth
and hope for the best
and besides

where in our sin does sin stop pretending
and offer the reason why
why is the truth of no longer good use
when love is the reason why

this one hits me like a bolt out of the blue - look at my loved-up lucy poem and you'll see why - 'lucy in the sky with diamonds' and the colour theme is lavender...
