Violets of Dawn by Eric Andersen Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take me to the night, I'm tippin'
Topsy-turvy turnin' 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

[Refrain]
Come watch the no colors fade blazin'
Into petal sprays of violets of dawn

[Verse 2]
In blindful wonderments enchantments
You can lift my wings softly to fly
Your eyes are like swift fingers reachin' out
Into the pockets of my night
Whirlin', twirlin', puppy warm
Before the flashin' cloaks of darkness gone

[Refrain]
Come watch the no colors fade blazin'
Into petal sprays of violets of dawn
[Verse 3]
Some Prince Charming I'll be on two white steeds
To bring you dappled diamond crowns
And climb your tower, Sleepin' Beauty
'Fore you ever know I've left the ground
You can wear a Cinderella, Snow White
Alice Wonderland gown

[Refrain]
Come watch the no colors fade blazin'
Into petal sprays of violets of dawn

[Verse 4]
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 seemin' stranger speakin' holy
No, I don't mean to wake you up
It's only loneliness just comin' on

[Refrain]
So let the no colors fade blazin'
Into petal sprays of violets of dawn

[Verse 5]
Like shadows burstin' into mist
Behind the echoes of this nonsense song
It's just a chasin' whisperin' trail
Of secret steps, oh, see them laughing on
There's magic in the sleepiness of wakin'
To a childish-soundin' yawn
[Refrain]
Come watch the no colors fade blazin'
Into petal sprays of violets of dawn
