Violet hill
Was a long and dark DecemberFrom the rooftops I rememberThere was snowWhite snow
Clearly I rememberFrom the windowsThey were watchingWhile we froze down below
When the future's architecturedBy a carnival of idiots on showYou'd better lie low
If you love meWon't you let me know?
Was a long and dark DecemberWhen the banks became cathedralsAnd a fox became God
Priests clutched onto biblesHollowed out to fit their riflesAnd the cross was held aloft
Bury me in honorWhen I'm dead and hit the groundA love back home it unfolds
If you love meWon't you let me know?
I don't want to be a soldierWho the captainOf some sinking shipWould stow, far below
So if you love meWhy'd you let me go?
I took my loveDown to Violet hillThere we sat in snowAll that timeShe was silent still
So if you love meWon't you let me know?
If you love me,Won't you let me know?
