Standard (EADGBE)

Take me to the night I'm tippin topsy turvy turning upside down

Hold me tight and whisper what you wish

 For there is no one here around

 Oh you may sing song me sweet smiles

 Regardless of the city's careless frown

 Come watch the no colors fade blazing

 Into pedal sprays of Violets of Dawn

 In blindful wonderments enchantments

You can lift my wings softly to fly

Your eyes are like swift fingers reaching out

 Into the pockets of my night

Whirling twirling puppy warm before the flashing cloaks of darkness

gone

 Come see the no colors fade blazing

 Into pedal sprays of Violets of Dawn

 Some prince charming I'll be

 On Two white steeds to bring you diamond crowns

 And climb your tower sleeping beauty

 Before you ever know I've left the ground

You can wear a Cinderella Snowhite Alice Wonderland gown

 Come watch the no colors fade blazing

 Into pedal 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 lonliness just coming on

 So let the no colors fade blazing into petal sprays

 Of Violets Of Dawn

 Like shadows bursting into mist

 Behind the echoes of this nonsense song

It's just chacing whispering trail

 Of secret steps see them laughing on

 There's magic in the sleepiness of waking to a childish sounding yawn

 Come watch the no colors fade blazing

 Into pedal sprays of Violets of Dawn
