A Violet Fugue

And then I saw by crystalline shore
Grim soldiers in grey to take me away
The footsteps I heard beat slow like a dirge
I trembled and shook I could not look

The deepest of wells, the splintering shells
A beige catacomb of abject despair
The furthest outpost where nothing is born
A curious pall dense and forlorn

The grey meter grins, put more money in
You pay for your time, you pay for your sin
While in a boudoir, they sing la di da
And promise to stay only avec toi

Pain rains down upon the morning
Global tears, distilled imploring
Clouds go by and I'm not thinking
Violets blue but I'm not shrinking

All my life
All I see
Eyes so deep
Soothing me

All my life
All I see
Eyes so deep
Soothing me

I saw my fate in wavering strands
And I felt the weight of quick-shifting sands
A faraway land was calling to me
So I sailed forth out on the sea
Cloud go by and I'm not thinking
Violets blue but I'm not shrinking

All my life
All I see
Eyes so deep
Soothing me
