Approaching Lavender (Singer: Gordon Lightfoot)
If you'd like to spend an afternoon
Approaching Lavender
You'll feel just fine but one thing's sure
You'll never be the same
If you'd like to try your hand at
Understanding Lavender
Then you must be very sure
That life is not a game
You might even learn a thing or two
Approaching Lavender
You'll soon be on a one night tour
Forgetting your own name
You won't need a reason
Just to be alone with Lavender
For the light so warm and pure
Will draw you like a flame
The colors that surround you there
Will be the shade of Lavender
Shadows dancing everywhere
Like flowers in the rain
You will find your tongue's on fire
While lying next to Lavender
With the words you never spoke before
And could not speak again
Oh, sweet Lavender
I understand you perfectly
There is no way that I can see
You living by yourself
Oh, sweet Lavender
I must be with you constantly
Your presence means so much to me
Much more that life itself
Oh, sweet Lavender
As fragrant as the name you bear
Please cast away the clothes you wear
And give your love to me
Oh, sweet Lavender
Your smile is like the golden sun
I'd love to see you laugh and run
As naked as the sea
If you'd like to spend an afternoon
Approaching Lavender
Don't try and get the best of her
She will not share the blame
If you'd like to try your hand at
Understanding Lavender
Then you must be very sure
That life is not a game
There is no shame

Sit Down Young Stranger is Canadian singer Gordon Lightfoot's fifth studio album and his best-selling original album. Shortly after its 1970 release on the Reprise Records label, it was renamed If You Could Read My Mind when the song of that title reached #1 on the RPM Top Singles chart in Canada and #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. The album itself reached #12 on the Billboard 200 chart. In Canada, the album was on the charts from April 18, 1970, to November 27, 1971. It peaked at #8 on March 13, 1971 after an earlier peak at #12 on June 20, 1970. Its last 24 weeks were spent in the 90s, except for appearances at #88 and #100.
Sit Down Young Stranger was Lightfoot's first recording for his new label, Reprise Records. He had left United Artists because he believed they did not adequately promote his albums.
On this album, Lightfoot included more orchestration, which is particularly evident on "If You Could Read My Mind". It was also the first studio album to feature long-time Lightfoot bassist Rick Haynes. The orchestration on "Minstrel of the Dawn" and "Approaching Lavender" was arranged by Randy Newman.
The album contained one of the first recorded versions of Kris Kristofferson and Fred Foster's "Me and Bobby McGee" which had previously been a country hit for Roger Miller and would later become a hit for Janis Joplin.
Gordon Meredith Lightfoot Jr. CC OOnt (November 17, 1938 – May 1, 2023) was a Canadian singer-songwriter and guitarist who achieved international success in folk, folk-rock, and country music. He is credited with helping to define the folk-pop sound of the 1960s and 1970s. He has been referred to as Canada's greatest songwriter and his songs have been recorded by some of the world's most renowned musical artists. Lightfoot's biographer Nicholas Jennings said, "His name is synonymous with timeless songs about trains and shipwrecks, rivers and highways, lovers and loneliness."
