she stands on the shore
and watches her sweetheart
and the ship the he boards
he tells her he love her
he'll return to her side
and all the while
Violet Bides
Violet grew up lovely
her hair a soft gold
and men came to court her
the young and the old
but violet remembers
her love and she cries
and all the while
Violet bides
The seasons continued
she walks on the beach
counting the hours
counting each sleep
she dreams for her love
forget him, she tries
and all the while
Violet bides
The years pass without him
one, then another
and Violet looks longingly
out on the harbour
her friends are all married
each a blushing bride
and all the while
Violet bides
The ship limped to harbor
all that remained
were sails familiar
of a warm summers day
grim faces she knew
but none were her pride
and all the while
Violet bides
She sits at her window
she sips at her tea
she waits for her love
to return from the sea
her suitors come calling
she watches the tides
and all the while
Violet bides.
