Story Behind The Song

When Prince died after talking about corruption in the industry, I got this idea

Song Description

My tribute to Prince after he died.

Lyrics

paisley boy
plantation fields
felt something wasn't real
so he made it real

purple dream
transistor trees
heard music but it didn't feel
so he made it feel

(chorus) when you thought
you were safe
the doves would cry
when you thought you were safe
the riddles untied
when you thought
you were safe
when you thought
you were safe

open eyes
poisoned skies
truth in what you speak
what do you seek

velvet world
sugared words
but is it really all that sweet
if they refuse to see

(chorus)

open eyes
yesterday's gone
now it's after eight
just a blinding fate

colors fade
notes un-played
the muse has taken flight
turn down the sun light
