VIOLETS OF DAWN

(Eric Anderson)



Take me to the night I'm tipping

Topsy turvy turning upside down.

Hold me close and whisper what you will

For there is no-one else around.

Oh, you can sing-song me sweet smiles

Regardless of the city's careless frown.

Come watch the no colors fade, blazing

Into petaled sprays of violets of dawn.



In blindful wonderments enchantments

You can lift my wings softly to flight.

Your eyes are like swift fingers

Reaching out into the pockets of my night

Oh whirling twirling puppy-warm

Before the flashing cloaks of darkness gone.

Come see the no colors fade, blazing

Into petaled sprays of violets of dawn.



Some Prince Charming I'd be on two white steeds

To bring you dappled, diamond crowns

And climb your tower, Sleeping Beauty,

'Fore you even know I've left the ground.

Oh you can wear a Cinderella, Snow White,

Alice Wonderlanded gown.

Come see the no colors fade, blazing

Into petaled sprays of violets of dawn.



But if I seem to wander off in dream-like looks

Please let me settle slowly.

It's only me just starin' out at you,

A seeming stranger speaking holy.

No, I don't mean to wake you up,

It's only loneliness just coming on.

So let the no colors fade, blazing

Into petaled sprays of violets of dawn.



Like shadows bursting into mist

Behind the echoes of this nonsense song

It's just the chasing, whispering trails

Of secret steps, oh see them laughing on.

There's magic in the sleepiness

Of waking to a childing sounding yawn.

Come see the no colors fade, blazing

Into petaled sprays of violets of dawn.
