Flowers died a long
time ago my friend
and they're hanging on the wall
with wax and thread

When you were young

When you were young

Sylvia was a girl
that I knew best
and she wore the finest
eyelid dress
and she sits in her room
painting golden moons
and she sits in her room
painting golden runes

without a man to see me through?
Oh, what am I to do
without a man to see me through?

I'm violet

that she loved best
and he died in a fiery crash.

the hole is wide
the hole is wide

And the hole is wide
the hole is wide
the hole is wide

Oh, what am I to do
without a man to see me through?
Oh, what am I to do
without a man to see me through?
I'm more than blue
I'm violet
