In the studio
version there are slight lyrical changes.

To start, there is clapping thought the song. Like when she played at that show in tenessee and clapped at the beginning, that is now throughout the song.

She sings "gonna get drunk" instead of "i wanna get drunk"
And "I wanna be your girl" instead of "I could be your girl"

Ah I love clapping :)

Seriously!

I can't wait to hear the studio version of this song!!!!!! I have a feeling it's going to be absolutely beautiful. Especially with the children's choir!

This is one of my favorite songs by Nessa.
Lavender Skies, does the studio have acoustic guitar in it?

album version: (posted before complete high quality album version was heard, or seeing official lyrics)
I think I got it though =P
--------------------


I like your company, got a fresh philosophy
Never knew such a gentleman
You could take me on a cheap vacation
I don't want to have expectations
'Cause you could be the end of me

I don't need a house on a hill, a swing on a tree
A grandfather clock, porcelain for tea
A garden with rose and jasmine
Gonna get drunk on a bottle of wine
No better way to pass the time
Forever by your side

But I don't want to be a bride
Apologies to your mother
I wanna be your girl and spend this life with you
But I don't wanna wear white
You know it's too late for that
Can't we keep the ever after, love?
Could it be?

Don't need no golden ring
It'd be no match for the love you bring
From London to Tennessee
And we could catch a train to another life
On a whim under the moonlight
I promise you, will you promise me?

Our last names on a wooden sign
Arm in arm where the river starts to wind
Forever by your side

But I don't want to be a bride
Apologies to each other
I wanna be your girl and spend this life with you
But I don't wanna wear white
Oh, you know it's too late for that
But can we keep the ever after?
Oh, could it be?
Just you and me
Ah, ah

We will live like kings under lavender skies, skies
We will live like kings under lavender skies, skies
We will (live like kings under lavender skies, skies)
Built a poem we kept a rhyme
Wrapped our love in golden twine
We wrote, we wrote a legacy
Just you and me
(We will live like kings under lavender skies, skies)
Just you and me
We will

I'm very surprised she kept the "From London to Tennessee" line as is. I figured she only said Tennessee in the Nashville recording because that's where she was, and I thought for sure the final version would say "NYC" considering London and NY are so special to her. Guess I shouldn't try to predict what will come out of her head though  :D

I really thought it would be NYC. I just love the sound of Tennessee though. :) I'm glad she stuck with it.
In the live version didn't she say "Got a new philosophy" instead of "Got a fresh philosophy"? I love these little new changes. <3

I'm glad she didn't say NYC. Tennessee rolls off the tongue better.

agreed.  Even though NYC has the same syllables, it just doesn't flow as much.  But I bet you that was one of the options as they were writing it--there are 20 pages of lyrics!
