Purple Hue

[Verse 1]

You can find me in the trees

No need for anything but the contraposition of civility

Within me

Isn't it so plain to see with you beside me?

Poetic justice

The volcano shields the others, it makes sure it's just us

I’ll brave the fire

And wash off the lava when you begin to get tired

 

[Chorus]

We trace the fine line you draw every day or two

To separate me from you

It never works and one day you'll see it too

Cremate my body, exhaust me

My poor literati

I'm so blue without you

Come melt me in your purple hue

 

[Verse 2]

We'll glaze over the hills

Neglect the heating bills

It's so cold outside

But I die every time I find the snow has dried

Little hooks in the grass cut me like glass

When they feel I've turned around to go back

I know it's not fair

I feel your envy as nature ties the heather in my hair

Your concrete mind

In time will find that it can soften and soon join mine

In the glens

Let’s not pretend you don't desire to feel me again

The rain and I

Will vie against the city to bring you back to the depth of the sky

That turned me blue

It hasn't forgotten that you bring the wind with you

 

[Chorus]

We trace the fine line you

Draw every day or two

To separate me from you

It never works and one day you'll see it too

Cremate my body, exhaust me

My poor literati

I'm so blue without you

Come melt me in your purple hue

 

[Bridge]

I know of your hesitant ways

With confidence frayed

But on the hillside you will be swayed

Come tread barefoot over my tree-rooted ground

How beautiful it is to feel found

 

[Chorus]

We trace the fine line you draw every day or two

To separate me from you

It never works and one day you'll see it too

Cremate my body, exhaust me

My poor literati

I'm so blue without you

Come melt me in your purple hue.
