[song by Eric Anderson]
Take me to the night I’m tipping
Topsy turvy turning upside down.
Hold me close and whisper what you will
For there is no-one else around.
Oh, you can sing-song me sweet smiles
Regardless of the city’s careless frown.
Come watch the no colors fade, blazing
Into petaled sprays of violets of dawn.
In blindful wonderments enchantments
You can lift my wings softly to flight.
Your eyes are like swift fingers
Reaching out into the pockets of my night.
Oh, whirling twirling puppy-warm
Before the flashing cloaks of darkness gone.
Come see the no colors fade, blazing
Into petaled sprays of violets of dawn.
Some Prince Charming I’d be on two white steeds
To bring you dappled, diamond crowns
And climb your tower, Sleeping Beauty,
‘Fore you even know I’ve left the ground.
Oh, you can wear a Cinderella, Snow White,
Alice Wonderlanded gown.
Come see the no colors face, blazing
Into petaled 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 starin’ out at you,
A seeming stranger speaking holy.
No, I don’t mean to wake you up,
It’s only loneliness just coming on.
So let the no colors fade, blazing
Into petaled sprays of violets of dawn.
Like shadows bursting into mist
Behind the echoes of this nonsense song
It’s just the chasing, whispering trails
Of secret steps, oh see them laughing on.
There’s magic in the sleepiness
Of waking to a childish sounding yawn.
Come see the no colors fade, blazing
Into petaled sprays of violets of dawn.
