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.
