There's a real old [Bb] song I wrote up here for you.
Violets of Dawn.
The beginning of the [Bb] thing is the higher.
Take me to the night and pippin' topsy turvy, turnin' upset.
Hold me tight and whisper what you wish for.
[Eb] You [F] can sing songy sweet [Bb] smiles regardless
low colors fade blaze in the petals
Blindful of all the light's enchantments,

There's a real old [Bb] song I wrote up here for you.
It's called Violets of Dawn.
[Gb] I wrote it in New York, New York.
[C] Long time.
The beginning of the [Bb] thing is the higher. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Take me to the night and pippin' topsy turvy, turnin' upset. _ _ _ _ _
Hold me tight and whisper what you wish for.
There's no one here around.
_ _ _ _ [Eb] You [F] can sing songy sweet [Bb] smiles regardless
[Gm] of the [F] city's careless [Bb] frown.
[C] [Bb] Come watch the low colors fade blaze in the petals
sprays of violet's dawn.
_ _ _ _ _ Blindful of all the light's enchantments,
you can lift my wings softly and fly. _
_ _ Your eyes and legs with fingers reach out
into the pockets of my night. _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ [F] Whirlin', twirlin', puppy, [Bb] warm before the flash
[Gm] of smoke's [F] darkness come on.
[Bb] [C] Come [Bb] watch the low colors fade blaze in the petals
sprays of violet's dawn. _ _ _ _ _
Some prince charming I could be onto white steeds
to be a double diamond crown.
_ _ _ _ And climb the towers sleepin' beautiful,
you ever know I left the ground. _
_ _ _ [Eb] Or you [F] could wear a [Bb] Cimbarella snow white Alice
[F] wonder, let it go.
_ [C] [Bb] Come watch the low colors fade blaze in the petals
sprays of violet's dawn. _
_ _ _ _ If I seem to wander off in dreamlike dreams,
please let me settle soon. _ _ _
_ It's only me just staring out at you,
seeming strange, just speaking.
_ _ _ No, no, I [F] don't mean to wake [Bb] you up,
it's only [Eb] loneliness [F] just coming home.
[Bb] [Bb] So let the low colors fade blaze in the petals
sprays of violet's dawn. _ _ _ _ _
Like shadows bursting in a green mist,
behind the echoes of this nonsense song.
_ _ It's _ just a chasing, whispering trail of secret steps,
see if I'm left at all.
_ _ _ [Eb] But there's [Bb] magic [F] in the [Bb] silliness of awakening
[Gm] to a [F] child's sound and [Bb] yawn.
[F] [Bb] Come watch the low colors fade blaze in the petals
sprays of violet's dawn. _
_ _ _ [Eb] But there's [Bb] magic [F] in the [Bb] silliness of awakening
to a [Bb] child's sound and [F] yawn. _ _ _
[Eb] Come [Bb] watch the low colors fade blaze in the petals
sprays of violet's dawn. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ Thank you very much.
