Verse
G#m
Don't stray from the path
The good people say
C#m
Well, she never did
But in a grove she lay
D#
The snow, it was falling
C
As a stranger passed by
G#m
And gazed right into
D# G#m
Her lifeless, little eyes
VERSE
There was something about her
The good people say
Rumours start spreading
Once started, they'll stay
She went with the wolves
A# whisper goes round
Her skin was ripped and torn
The night she was found
BRIDGE
G#m
And on her bare breast
C#m G#m
A# frozen flower lay
G#m
It was a violet
C#m G#m
That's what people say
CHORUS
G#m
Violets were your favourite flowers
C#m D#
You always smiled when I
G#m
Gave them to you
C#m
Now I stand at your grave
Trembling for hours
G#m
My numb hands clutch
At frozen flowers
F#
But flowers won't do
G#m
No more smile comes from you...
VERSE
She was that kind of woman
Man loves to adore
But her tender kisses
Left me longing for more
I try to be humble
The best that I can
But there is a wolf
Hiding in every man.
VERSE
It lays there waiting
And when the time's right
Love turns to hunger
In a dark grove at night.
What difference does it make
If you run, scream or cry?
When a wolf has scented the blood
All that's left is to die...
BRIDGE
Even if I placed a violet
Into a cold hand
Some things had to happen
There's no way to pretend
CHORUS
G#m
Violets were your favourite flowers
C#m D#
You always smiled when I
G#m
Gave them to you
C#m
Now I stand at your grave
Trembling for hours
G#m
My numb hands clutch
At frozen flowers
Violets were your favourite flowers
you always smiled when I
Gave them to you
Now I stand at your grave
And grief devours
What's left of my soul
And the frozen flowers
These flowers won't do
there's no more smile coming from you...
