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"
