Violet Hill

 

  Coldplay - Violet Hill

 Was a long and dark December

From the rooftops I remember

There was snow white snow

Clearly I remember

From the windows they were watching

While we froze down below

When the future's architectured

By a carnival of idiots on show

You'd better lie low

If you love me

Won't you let me know?

Was a long and dark December

When the banks became cathedrals

And the fog became God

Priests clutched onto bibles

Hollowed out to fit their rifles

And a cross held aloft

Bury me in armour

When I'm dead and hit the ground

My nerves are poles that unfroze

And If you love me

Won't you let me know?

I don't want to be a soldier

With the captain of some sinking ship

With stow, far below

So if you love me

Why'd you let me go?

I took my love down to violet hill

There we sat in snow

All that time she was silent still

Said if you love me won't you let me know?

If you love me won't you let me know?
