[Verse 1]
I never knew that those were violets darling
State of my soul
Had I known a blew wind by your bed
I dread to see it grow
And now who's it for?
For royal blood, the honey's not due
Though the burdens live where serpents swim
If you're certain that it's true

[Pre-Chorus]
Well I wasn't sent too soon
This harm is just so hard to resist
Boy, I wish

[Chorus]
Take a bit from the grit just to ease your voice
Attained from the grain
This noise won't leave your voice
Do you have a choice? Oh
Don't press your hope
You do no wrong in foreign land
Unfold your palm
Hold my hand

[Verse 2]
I've always loved the scent of lemongrass
Or of my dream
If I knew it grew in my old head
I'd pretend that I could see
Darling, you could view my sun
I'll show you everything I yearn
Not to worry, there's no hurry
But it's so easy to learn
[Pre-Chorus]
Well I wasn't sent too soon
This harm is just so hard to resist
Boy, I wish

[Chorus]
Take a bit from the grit just to ease your voice
Attained from the grain
This noise won't leave your voice
Do you have a choice? Oh
Don't press your hope
You do no wrong in foreign land
Unfold your palm
Hold my hand

[Outro]
Take a bit from the grit just to ease your voice
Attained from the grain
This noise won't leave your voice
Do you have a choice? Oh
Don't press your hope
You do no wrong in foreign land
Unfold your palm
Hold my hand
