Purple Shadows
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Them purple shadows
Fall across
And they soften
Everything they touch
And they give me
A place to hide
And the moonlight
All around
Surely gonna wash
These troubles down
And cool the awful burningness
Of love
I'm talkin' 'bout the burningness
Yeah, the burningness
Oh, the burningness
Yeah, the burningness
We will cool down
The awful burningness
Of love
I hear your echo
On the run
Them damn tears
They start to come
And they will dry me up
And I'll simply
Blow away
But while I'm blowin'
In the wind
Surely gonna feel again
Your soft skin
And remember
The awful burningness
Of love
I'm talkin' 'bout the burningness
Yeah, the burningness
Oh, the burningness
Yeah, the burningness
We will cool down
The awful burningness
Of love
And the moonlight
All around
Surely gonna wash
These troubles down
And cool the awful burningness
Of love
I'm talkin' 'bout the burningness
Yeah, the burningness
Oh, the burningness
Yeah, the burningness
We will cool down
The awful burningness
Of love
We will cool down
The awful burningness
Of love
