Violet

Well I remember late one night in the frost covered air in the bright moonlight,
she was standing there, drink in her hand ignoring every eye from each and every man
well she, never walked a straight white line and she danced to the drums in her own wild mind.
A whip for a tongue and cold blue eyes that burned through your heart whenever she smiled, whenever she smiled and that's Violet.
Winter blew cold but moved through fast, then Summer gave Violet an hourglass.
The town stood still like time wasn't real, it seemed to move backwards that's how it'd feel.
The sound of her voice would bring you to tears, but love went silent and so went the years.
I never thought Summer would last so long, she wouldn't leave Violet there all alone, but she was always alone and that's Violet.
Well mama always said she's daddy's little girl, she'll walk into your life then leave with a twirl, "maybe it's all just part of God's plan if I drink like a woman and cuss like a man"
Hey! Hey! Hey I'm walkin away, said Violet.
Well Violet awoke in the middle of the night with a restlessness that she could not fight, said "maybe its best if I leave for a while", then broke mama's heart with that little smile, with that little smile oh Violet.
Well daddy always said she's gotta love free but I never sleep a wink, between you and me, "maybe it's all just part of God's plan if I'm in love with a woman who cuts like a man!"
HEY! HEY! HEY! I'm walkin away now, said Violet, sweet Violet, oh Violet, my Violet

Found your keys sittin' on the wooden table
Where you left them some 80 years ago
We built this house while the world fell down around us Spent our days turning paper into stone well I...always knew there'd be something we could count on, but gone are the days where 1 and 1 made 2.
You know I'll be around, keepin' posted
Yeah I'll keep ya posted
As we grow old I hope we take it easy,
eat the words that somehow kill the flame
Face the years with a deep breath, and keep breathin
I see your ghost as you wander down the hallway, close my eyes and smell that sweet perfume. You know I'll be around just keepin posted.
Yeah I'll keep ya posted
It's all a matter of letting go
Paint the echoes of long, long ago
And drag the dirt from the memories of what we did here.
But I don't mind. No I still don't mind. And no I won't ever mind....keepin'. Yeah I'll keep ya posted.

Turn your eyes up to the sun
Bird and wave will lead the way, again
I'm counting hours in my head
Spreading years out into days, but i know
The worst is yet to come
Chorus:
Wine like waves wade patiently
Surround us this Universe
Wine like waves wade patiently
To drown us in this Universe
And now we marvel at the gate
A mediation on the pain we haven't felt
But now, a sea of emptiness awaits
Along the miles of horizon
She seems, to sing, to call, to me
Constellations speak to me
Venture out in darkness and set sail, for nowhere
The Southern Cross burns out of reach
Catch the wind in canvas and set sail for nowhere
Let me go
