Au début des années 60, Eric Andersen, par ailleurs militant actif des droits civiques, hantait la scène Folk de Greenwich Village avec des compositions originales et poétiques, sur des mélodies elles-mêmes originales, mais bien ancrées dans l’idiome folk. On trouve sur cette page sa chanson Thirsty Boots, interprétée en duo avec Judy Collins qui l’avait fait connaitre. Violets Of Dawn est l’une des plus représentatives de ces premières chansons. VIOLETS OF DAWN Take me to the night Im tippin topsy turvy turning upside down Hold me tight and whisper what you wish For there is no one here around Oh you may sing song me sweet smiles Regardless of the citys careless frown Come watch the no colors fade blazing Into pedal sprays of violets of dawn In blindfold wonderments enchantments You can lift my wings softly to fly Your eyes are like swift fingers reaching out Into the pockets of my night Whirling twirling puppy warm Before the flashing cloaks of darkness gone Come see the no colors fade blazing Into pedal sprays of violets of dawn Some prince charming Ill be On two white steeds to bring you diamond crowns And climb your tower sleeping beauty Before you ever know Ive left the ground You can wear a Cinderella Snowhite Alice Wonderland gown Come watch the no colors fade blazing Into pedal sprays of violets of dawn But if I seem to wander off in dream like looks Please let me settle slowly Its only me just staring out at you A seeming stranger speaking holy I dont mean to wake you up Its only loneliness just coming on So let the no colors fade Blazing into petal sprays Of violets of dawn Like shadows bursting into mist Behind the echoes of this nonsense song Its just chacing whispering trail Of secret steps see them laughing on Theres magic in the sleepiness Of waking to a childish sounding yawn Come watch the no colors fade blazing Into pedal sprays of violets of dawn https://youtube/watch?v=YhEJ_ZCZuqE
