Violets Of Dawn

Eric Andersen Violets Of Dawn written by 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 pedal 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 see the no colors fade blazing Into pedal sprays of Violets of Dawn Some prince charming I'll be On Two white steeds to bring you diamond crowns And climb your tower sleeping beauty Before you ever know I've left the ground You can wear a Cinderella Snowhite Alice Wonderland gown Come watch the no colors fade blazing Into pedal 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 I don't mean to wake you up it's only lonliness 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 chacing whispering trail Of secret steps 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 pedal sprays of Violets of Dawn From Eric Andersen "Bout Changes & Things LP" Vanguard Records 1966
