Oh Violet Lyrics by Michael Cunningham

Patiently Impatient

0

Gimme some time to think, I’ll start all over again
Pour me another drink, & Ill take you back to when
How can I tell you, my life’s story
Time and love are in short supply

Freedom is rationed, trust is out of fashion
And ours is but to do or die
Are you battening the odds? Fighting the unseen?
Or living in a kind of twilight zone, land of dreams

Oh violet, where have you been
Oh violet, where have you been
La La La LA LA

Open up familiar wounds, lying of a bed of nails
Your bones will be buried soon, when all else fails
You see how everything just seems to ricochet
And nothing, even mud don’t stick to thе walls
Soon your history, in some old mans diary
As you dive, as you fall
Are you turning in your sleep
Rattling your jеans
And you talk about love like you know what it means
Oh violet, where have you been
Oh violet, where have you been
Break

Freedom is rationed, trust is out of fashion
And ours is but to do or die
Are you battening the odds? Fighting the unseen?
And you talk about love like you know what it means

Oh violet, where have you been
Oh violet, where have you been
Oh violet, where have you been
Oh violet, where have you been
