Lyrics

Violet

Spoken:
She took the rose with her
And faced the thorn to me

Verse1
I read to her at dawn in our bed of broken alms
Chorus 1
My violet, oh silent one

Bridge 1
Well now my story tell
I have no soul to sell

Verse 2
Our boat at sea so long I never meant to be so wrong

Chorus 2
My violet, oh silent one

Spoken:
The dead man's drums lie buried
Lost from the cancer frost
Beyond the brittle pond

Bridge 3
To shore I stretch my sail Another boat to bail

Spoken:
The trade winds blew that desert day
Blowing naked over the land of Neverlust
The tiger year shall starve us all

Bridge 4
A season full of rain To never love again

Chorus 3
My violet, oh silent one
My violet, oh silent one
