Song Lyrics
Give Me Purple
by Silvia Hartmann
And the morning lay silent in atrophy
I didn't know just where I should be
when I saw someone standing at the crossroads
he was waiting for sign or word from me.
I grew frightened for I did not know what to say
I had waited so often and so long
I grew frightened that he would turn and walk away
so I said though I feared it might be wrong,
Give me purple and I shall give you love.
But he turned towards me and he bowed his head,
and he said, my lady it is true.
I have an ocean of purple inside of me,
and I would gladly give it up to you.
For many lifetimes I have roamed the universe
and I've been asked for gold and green and blue
but I'm still drowning in an ocean of loneliness
and I would gladly give it all to you.
Give me purple, and I shall give you love.
So I stepped towards him and he took my hand
his touch was gentle it was new
and with exquisite tenderness I moved to him,
and then there was no longer me and you.
He gave me purple, and I did give him love.
I took his purple, and he did take my love. |
