It’s been ages since the kiss of dewdrops
Bid the violet grow
Cloudy skies they tempt her dream
Of rain she’ll one day know
 
Dum dum dum
 
But her leaves are dry and brittle
And she’s waited oh so long
On this balcony her pot will sit
Til thunder sings its song
 
Dum dum dum
 
Passing seconds feel like years and years
when the life that you were promised never actually appears
 
Dum dum dum
 
These shriveled leaves a bookmark
For the page where we are stuck
There’s more to this sweet story
If we’d do more than just want for luck
 
Dum dum dum
 
How long can I wait
One spring shower’s all that it would take
 
[Layered]
Passing seconds feel like years and years
when the life that you were promised never actually appears
 
Dum dum dum
 
A violet’s meant to bloom again, it’s petals soft and rare
Hold on one more second, I feel it in the air.
