Violets For A Dead Girl

Don't [Gm]stray from the path

The good people say
Well, [Cm]she never did

But in a grove she lay
The [D]snow, it was falling
As a [B]stranger passed by
And g[Gm]azed right into
Her l[D]ifeless, little e[Gm]yes

There was something about her
The good people say
Rumours start spreading
Once started, they'll stay
She went with the wolves
A whisper goes round
Her skin was ripped and torn
The night she was found

[Gm]And on her bare breast
[Cm]A frozen flower [Gm]lay
It [Gm]was a violet
[Cm]That's what people [Gm]say

[Gm]Violets were your favourite flowers
[Cm]You always smiled when [D]I
Gave them to [Gm]you
Now I s[Cm]tand at your grave

Trembling for hours
[Gm]My numb hands clutch

At frozen flowers
But flowers won't [F]do
No more smile [Gm]comes from you...

She was that kind of woman
Man loves to adore
But her tender kisses
Left me longing for more
I try to be humble
The best that I can
But there is a wolf
Hiding in every man.

It lays there waiting
And when the time's right
Love turns to hunger
In a dark grove at night.
What difference does it make
If you run, scream or cry?
When a wolf has scented the blood
All that's left is to die...

Even if I placed a violet
Into a cold hand
Some things had to happen
There's no way to pretend

[Gm]Violets were your favourite flowers
[Cm]You always smiled when [D]I
Gave them to [Gm]you
Now I s[Cm]tand at your grave

Trembling for hours
[Gm]My numb hands clutch

At frozen flowers
Violets were your favourite flowers
you always smiled when I
Gave them to you
Now I stand at your grave
And grief devours
What's left of my soul
And the frozen flowers
These flowers won't do
there's no more smile coming from you...
