Lyrics Marissa Nadler

Marissa Nadler

The Whole Is Wide

Flowers died a long

time ago my friend

and they're hanging on the wall

with wax and thread

When you were young

did you think it would ever end?

When you were young

did you think it would ever end?

Sylvia was a girl

that I knew best

and she wore the finest

eyelid dress

and she sits in her room

painting golden moons

and she sits in her room

painting golden runes

Oh, what am I to do

without a man to see me through?

Oh, what am I to do

without a man to see me through?

I'm more than blue

I'm violet

Lyla met a man

that she loved best

and he died in a fiery crash.

And the hole is wide

the hole is wide

the hole is wide

And the hole is wide

the hole is wide

the hole is wide

Oh, what am I to do

without a man to see me through?

Oh, what am I to do

without a man to see me through?

I'm more than blue

I'm violet
