A violet night keeps you alive
But you never had the will to just take it in
I was possessed by your eyes
But you fell asleep most of the time
So I learned to speak to myself
While you were in a dream somewhere else so
Maybe, maybe if I could see you now
I'll find a way to sing somehow
Something to make you stay so wide awake somehow
She always said I was too silent
And I never found the words to entertain her
Maybe I tried just too hard to always be clever
While she only stopped for simple words
To keep her safe, to keep her safe
