The Violet Hour Lyrics

Cover art for The Violet Hour lyrics by Sea Wolf

This is what I heard in the song:

your lips are nettles your tongue is wine your laughter's liquid but your body's pine you love all sailors but hate the beach you say "come touch me" but you're always out of reach

in the dark you tell me of a flower that only blooms in the violet hour

your arms are lovely yellow and rose your back's a meadow covered in snow your thighs are thistles and ? grapes you breathe a sweet breath and have me wait

in the dark you tell me of a flower that only blooms in the violet hour

i turn the lights out i clean the sheets you changed the station turned up the heat and now you're sailing upon your chair you got me tangled up inside your beautiful black hair

in the dark you tell me of a flower that only blooms in the violet hour

in the dark you tell me of a flower that only blooms in the violet hour

yeah nettles + meadow sound way better then metal lol thanks! =]

I believe the line is:

"your thighs are thistles and hothouse grapes."

It's an interesting picture. Some vintners believe that planting the roots outside keeps the plant stronger, but they guide the more fragile stems into the hothouse through a hole in the wall by the ground. That protects the delicate fruit.

I love the word pictures and contrasts in this song.
