Mary Chapin Carpenter - Violets of Dawn lyrics

Take me to the night, I'm tipping Topsy turvy turning upside down Hold me tight and whisper what you wish For there is no one here around You may sing-song me sweet smiles Regardless of the city's careless frown Come watch the no colors fade, blazing Into petal sprays of violets of dawn In blindfold wonderments enchantments You can lift my wings softly to flight 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 petal sprays of violets of dawn Some Prince Charming I'll be on two white steeds To bring you dappled, diamond crowns And climb your tower, Sleeping Beauty 'Fore you ever know I've left the ground You can wear a Cinderella, Snow White Alice Wonderlanded gown Come watch the no colors fade, blazing Into petal 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 No, I don't mean to wake you up It's only loneliness 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 a chasing, whispering trail Of secret steps, oh, 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 petal sprays of violets of dawn
