Eric Andersen Violets Of Dawn written by Eric Andersen
D G D G D G
Take me to the night I'm tippin topsy turvy turning upside down
D G D
Hold me tight and whisper what you wish
G D
For there is no one here around
G A
Oh you may sing song me sweet smiles
D G A
Regardless of the city's careless frown
D G
Come watch the no colors fade blazing
D G D G
Into pedal sprays of Violets of Dawn
D G
In blindful wonderments enchantments
D G D G D
You can lift my wings softly to fly
D G D
Your eyes are like swift fingers reaching out
G D
Into the pockets of my night
G A D G
Whirling twirling puppy warm before the flashing cloaks of darkness
A
gone
D G
Come see the no colors fade blazing
D G D G
Into pedal sprays of Violets of Dawn
D G
Some prince charming I'll be
D G D G
On Two white steeds to bring you diamond crowns
D G
And climb your tower sleeping beauty
D G D
Before you ever know I've left the ground
G A D G A
You can wear a Cinderella Snowhite Alice Wonderland gown
D G
Come watch the no colors fade blazing
D G D G
Into pedal sprays of Violets of Dawn
D G D
But if I seem to wander off in dream like looks
G D G
Please let me settle slowly
D G D
It's only me just staring out at you
G D
A seeming stranger speaking holy
G A D G A
I don't mean to wake you up it's only lonliness just coming on
D G D
So let the no colors fade blazing into petal sprays
G D G
Of Violets Of Dawn
D G
Like shadows bursting into mist
D G D G
Behind the echoes of this nonsense song
D G
It's just chacing whispering trail
D G D
Of secret steps see them laughing on
G A D G A
There's magic in the sleepiness of waking to a childish sounding yawn
D G
Come watch the no colors fade blazing
D G D G D
Into pedal sprays of Violets of Dawn
From Eric Andersen "Bout Changes & Things LP"
Vanguard Records 1966
