Lyrics Ricky Nelson

Ricky Nelson

Violets of Dawn

Take me to the night I'm tippin'

Topsy-turvy, upside-down

Hold me tight and tell me what you sish for

There is no one here around

You may sing song my sweet smiles

Regardless of the cities careless frown

Come watch the no-colours fade

Blazing into petal sprays of violets of dawn.

In blissful wonderments enchantment

You can lift my wings softly to flight

Whirling, twirling, puppy-warm

Before the flashing cloaks of darkness gone

Come see the no-colours fade

Blazing into petal sprays of violets of dawn.

A prince charming I'll be, on two white steeds

To give you dappled diamond crowns

And climb your towers sleeping beauty

'Fore you ever know I've left the ground

You can wear a Cinderella, Snow-White

Alice Wonderland gown

Come watch the no-colours 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

I don't mean to wake you up

It's only loneliness just coming on

So let the colours fade

Blazing into petal sprays of violets of dawn.

Like shadows bursting into mist

Behind 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-colours fade

Blazing into petal sprays of violets of dawn...
