Violets Of Dawn

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