The Violet Hour
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.
I'd walk, i would run but i'd die before i would get to you
There's no way i'd get to you
The roads have fallen off this earth
There's no way i would get to you in time, no way i'd get to you
So please won't you come flying
Won't you come rescue me
Like you do in my dreams
And please don't you take your time
Our candle's burning out in an hour
I'd like to hold you one last time
Our violet sun is burning out
Our crumbling town is falling apart
Our sun is burning out
So please won't you come flying
Won't you come rescue me
Like you do in my dreams
And please don't you take your time
Our candle's burning out in an hour
I'd like to hold you one last time
Our sun is burning out
In an hour, burning out
I'd like to hold you
I'd like to hold you one last time
