Her name's on the mailbox two over from mine
On a lavender label on 329
In a dull grey apartment hallway, she's all the color you'll find there
But when I see Amber Lavender, there's color everywhere
Amber Lavender -- she's a Technicolor girl
A mystery down the hall from me in a sunset-tinted world
Amber Lavender -- it's really such a shame
I'm in love with Amber Lavender and I only know her name
One night I heard music from 329
A sad lonely love song in three-quarter time
I was standing at her doorway with some violets in my hand
Why I set them down and turned around I'll never understand
(Chorus)
I can't explain how just her name can color away all my shades of gray
And if we meet could she compete with my image of her in shades of Amber Lavender?
Today on the mailbox two over from mine
Amber was missing from 329
Now someone else's name's there -- I think it's Black or Gray or White
But I'll still see Amber Lavender in the sunset every night
(Chorus)
