Violets Of Dawn - Eric Andersen

Take me to the night, I’m tippin'

Topsy-turvy turning upside down

Hold me tight and whisper what you wish

For there is no one here around

Oh, you may sing-song me sweet smiles

Regardless of the city’s careless frown

Come watch the no colors fade blazing

Into petal sprays of violets of dawn

In blindful wonderments enchantments

You can lift my wings softly to fly

Your eyes are like swift fingers reaching out

Into the pockets of my night

Whirling, twirling, puppy warm

Before the flashing cloaks of darkness gone

Come watch the no colors fade blazing

Into petal sprays of violets of dawn

Some Prince Charming I’ll be

On two white steeds to bring you dappled diamond crowns

And climb your tower, sleeping beauty

Before you ever know I’ve left the ground

You can wear a Cinderella, Snow White, Alice Wonderland gown

Come watch the no colors fade blazing

Into petal 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 staring 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 petal sprays of violets of dawn

Like shadows bursting into mist

Behind the echoes of this nonsense song

It’s just a chasing whispering trail

Of secret steps, oh, see them laughing on

There’s magic in the sleepiness of waking to a childish-sounding yawn

Come watch the no colors fade blazing

Into petal sprays of violets of dawn
