The song features a number of verses that are reminiscent of the folk song "Lavender's Blue". The song forms part of the concept of the Misplaced Childhood album. Like "Kayleigh" it is a love song, but whereas "Kayleigh" was about the failure of an adult relationship, "Lavender" recalls the innocence of childhood: The childhood theme also brought up the idea of utilising an old children's song and "Lavender" was an obvious contender as one of the original pop songs of its time. The opening lines "I was walking in the park dreaming of a spark, when I heard the sprinklers whisper, shimmer in the haze of summer lawns" deliberately recall the title track of Joni Mitchell's album The Hissing of Summer Lawns. Unusually for a rock song from the mid-1980s, "Lavender" features a traditional grand piano rather than an electronic keyboard or electric piano. In the music video, keyboardist Mark Kelly is seen playing a Bechstein but the original sleeve notes of the Misplaced Childhood album state that a Bösendorfer was used for the recording. On the album Misplaced Childhood, "Lavender" is a short track of barely two and a half minutes, forming part of a longer suite that continues into the likewise multi-portioned track "Bitter Suite", which repeats Lavender's musical motif at the end. In order to be suitable for a single release, the track therefore needed to be re-arranged and extended. As a result, the 7" version is significantly longer than the album version (3:40 as opposed to 2:27), whereas the 12" version - entitled "Lavender Blue" - is 4:18. (Das Lied enthält einige Verse, die an das Volkslied „Lavender's Blue“ erinnern. Das Lied ist Teil des Konzepts des Misplaced Childhood-Albums. Wie „Kayleigh“ handelt es sich um ein Liebeslied, aber während es bei „Kayleigh“ um das Scheitern einer Erwachsenenbeziehung ging, erinnert „Lavender“ an die Unschuld der Kindheit: Das Kindheitsthema brachte auch die Idee auf, ein altes Kinderlied zu verwenden, und „Lavender“ war ein offensichtlicher Anwärter auf einen der originellsten Popsongs seiner Zeit. Die Eröffnungszeilen „Ich spazierte im Park und träumte von einem Funken, als ich die Sprinkler flüstern und im Dunst sommerlicher Rasenflächen schimmern hörte“ erinnern bewusst an den Titelsong von Joni Mitchells Album The Hissing of Summer Lawns. Ungewöhnlich für einen Rocksong aus der Mitte der 1980er Jahre ist „Lavender“ mit einem traditionellen Flügel und nicht mit einem elektronischen Keyboard oder E-Piano ausgestattet. Im Musikvideo ist Keyboarder Mark Kelly zu sehen, wie er eine Bechstein spielt, aber in den Originalhüllennotizen des Misplaced Childhood-Albums heißt es, dass für die Aufnahme ein Bösendorfer verwendet wurde. Auf dem Album Misplaced Childhood ist „Lavender“ ein knapp zweieinhalbminütiger Kurztitel, der Teil einer längeren Suite ist, die in den ebenfalls mehrteiligen Titel „Bitter Suite“ übergeht, der am Ende Lavenders musikalisches Motiv wiederholt. Um für eine Einzelveröffentlichung geeignet zu sein, musste der Track daher neu arrangiert und erweitert werden. Dadurch ist die 7-Zoll-Version deutlich länger als die Albumversion (3:40 statt 2:27), während die 12-Zoll-Version mit dem Titel „Lavender Blue“ 4:18 dauert.)

Technically, this should be labeled "Lavender/Blue Angel". The latter song starts at about 4:10. They both use the same chord progression, obviously.
