Violets Of Dawn
VIOLETS OF DAWN
(Eric Anderson)
Take me to the night I′m tipping
Topsy turvy turning upside down.
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.

Line by Line Meaning
Take me to the night I'm tipping
Bring me to a state of being off-balance, ready for adventure
Topsy turvy turning upside down.
Everything is chaotic and unpredictable
Hold me close and whisper what you will
In this moment, only the two of us matter
For there is no-one else around.
Our love is private and intimate
Oh, you can sing-song me sweet smiles
Your words and expressions of love are music to my ears
Regardless of the city's careless frown.
We are together, even in the face of the world's indifference
Come watch the no colors fade, blazing
Witness the beauty of the sunrise, as darkness gives way to light
Into petaled sprays of violets of dawn.
The sky is awash with the colors of dawn, a mixture of pinks, purples, and blues
You can lift my wings softly to flight.
You give me the courage to soar and to dream big
Your eyes are like swift fingers
Your gaze touches my soul and reveals my deepest desires
Reaching out into the pockets of my night
You help me find what I need in the darkness of my life
Oh whirling twirling puppy-warm
We are spinning together in a warm embrace like playful puppies
Before the flashing cloaks of darkness gone.
Before the darkness disappears and makes way for daylight
Some Prince Charming I'd be on two white steeds
I want to be your knight in shining armor, your savior
To bring you dappled, diamond crowns
I want to shower you with riches and treasures
And climb your tower, Sleeping Beauty,
I want to rescue you, just like Prince Charming rescued Sleeping Beauty
'Fore you even know I've left the ground.
I want to act quickly and decisively, without hesitation
Oh you can wear a Cinderella, Snow White,
You are like a princess to me, beautiful and deserving of grand gestures
Alice Wonderlanded gown.
You are curious, adventurous, and mysterious, like Alice in Wonderland
But if I seem to wander off in dream-like looks
If I appear distracted or distant, lost in thought
Please let me settle slowly.
Please give me time to come back to reality
It's only me just starin' out at you,
I'm simply admiring you, lost in your beauty
A seeming stranger speaking holy.
I am in awe of you, as if you are a divine presence
No, I don't mean to wake you up,
I don't want to disrupt your peace or your dreams
It's only loneliness just coming on.
I'm feeling lonely and vulnerable, and seeking comfort from you
Like shadows bursting into mist
The world around us is constantly changing and unpredictable
Behind the echoes of this nonsense song
We are creating our own reality, outside of the norms of the world
It's just the chasing, whispering trails
These are the remnants of our love, lingering and creating new paths
Of secret steps, oh see them laughing on.
Our love is playful and full of joy, even in hidden moments
There's magic in the sleepiness
There is a special beauty to the time just after waking up
Of waking to a childing sounding yawn.
It's the sound of innocence and purity, reminding us of a simpler time
Come see the no colors fade, blazing
Witness the beauty of the sunrise, as darkness gives way to light
Into petaled sprays of violets of dawn.
The sky is awash with the colors of dawn, a mixture of pinks, purples, and blues
