Purple Shades
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.
Purples shades at night
Filming the birds in flight
Dancing on cellophane moons
Soon they?ll crystallize
Passing before my eyes
Taking me out of my room
Into the night
Making me feel good
Band of butterflies
Twice their normal size
Flying around in my mind
Strange as summer snow
They just come and go
Everything moves out of time
Into the night
Making me feel good
I can move a mountain high
I can move a mountain low
And the snow will melt in the warmth of the sun
Things have multiplied
Dreams don?t coincide
Something is taking control
Visions new to me
Drift on endlessly
Taking a part of my soul
Into the night
Making me feel good
Giant teddy bears
Climbing up my stairs
Roses dived in my hem
What they symbolize
I don?t realize
Something I don?t understand
Into the night
Making me feel good
Into the night
Making me feel good
