Blue Violets Lyrics

We were living in a painting

A picturesque summer of peach and pink

Sweet and supple, free and fluid

As delicate as flower petals dancing along a stream

It wasn't the seaside picnics or the rooftop conversations

That defined our summer

It was the blue violets, the ones I gave you

It's funny how flowers can define a season

They were so temporary

Temporary, yet beautiful

We were sipping cherry wine

In the warmth of summertime

I painted strawberry skies

So picturesque, you glowed gold in my eyes

Sugar heart, you were my

Archangel, muse of sweet dreams

But my dreams

They tend not to last

I spent our last summer painting

Pink skies and made-up faces

But I swore your portrait was real

You looked like an angel

Blue violets all tangled in your hair

But they blew away in the autumn air

Swimming in lakes of moonlight

As we danced from day to night

Bright colours turned to black

So picturesque, but all full moons must set

Sunshine heart, you were my

Archangel, muse of sweet dreams

But my dreams

They tend not to last

I spent our last summer painting

Pink skies and made-up faces

But I swore your portrait was real

You looked like an angel

Blue violets all tangled in your hair

But they blew away in the autumn air

Each sunset said goodbye

Each violet fell and died

Some loves are only meant for the summer

I spent our last summer painting

Pink skies and made-up faces

But I swore your portrait was real

You looked like an angel

Blue violets all tangled in your hair

But you blew away in the autumn air

(Violets are blue)

Seasons, never the same as the last

(Oh violets are blue)

New skies, new flowers, new people

(Oh violets are blue)

Moments are temporary, not everlasting

(Oh summer's so sweet)

Temporary yet beautiful, temporary and beautiful

As your bouquet of blue violets wilted

Our sweet summer came to an end
