[Verse 1]
Years keep dripping away (Dripping away)
I notice the little things
Moments in a mirror
Holding the paper farther
I'm moving slower and feeling colder
Scared to trust my heart to another
[Pre-Chorus]
But I realized in the bottom of my well
That I was nowhere: safe but still in hell
I had to pick myself up
And believe that I would love again
Yes I will love again
[Chorus]
And I'll love you for life
Heart of my cry, darling of mine
And I'll walk through this fire
Lay down my life, my violet eyes
Violet eyes, violet eyеs
[Verse 2]
Oh Universe (Oh Universе), oh Godly place
Delivered you in a Christmas cake
Sweaters and cheddars and knowing your mother
Poems and llamas and children among us
Valentines and showing spine and
Going after what was mine
So divine, those kisses on our first night
[Pre-Chorus]
And patience and wisdom pulling us to each other
Blessings in finding our life together
I'm picking myself up
And believing that I will love again
Yes I do love again
[Chorus]
And I'll love you for life
Heart of my cry, darling of mine
And I'll walk through this fire
Lay down my life, my violet eyes
[Bridge]
A notarized paper
Will never together make our unity
The wreckage of marriage
The bloody damned baggage between you and me
Won't tarnish this silent of sacred decrees
That I will, I will be yours
Eternally
[Chorus]
And I'll love you for life
Heart of my cry, darling of mine
And I'll walk through this fire
Lay down my life, my violet eyes
Violet eyes, violet eyes
Years keep dripping away (Dripping away)
I notice the little things
Moments in a mirror
Holding the paper farther
I'm moving slower and feeling colder
Scared to trust my heart to another
[Pre-Chorus]
But I realized in the bottom of my well
That I was nowhere: safe but still in hell
I had to pick myself up
And believe that I would love again
Yes I will love again
[Chorus]
And I'll love you for life
Heart of my cry, darling of mine
And I'll walk through this fire
Lay down my life, my violet eyes
Violet eyes, violet eyеs
[Verse 2]
Oh Universe (Oh Universе), oh Godly place
Delivered you in a Christmas cake

[Pre-Chorus]
And patience and wisdom pulling us to each other

Violet eyes, violet eyes
