Tart gooseberries, sweet lilac

[Verse 1]
Place your hands in mine tonight
Scars and lines run deep and old
In the harshness, we unite
Against what fate and anger hold
Show those wounds, I’ll heal again
Let them cross into design
Let the pain become our thread
In the story winding through your life
[Drums Break]

[Chorus]
You slip away each morning with the dawn
Tart gooseberries, sweet lilac on the lawn
I want to see the shine in your hair, hold on
Your violet eyes—what clouds the tears that linger on?
(Your violet eyes—what clouds the tears that linger on?)
[Background Rock Vocals & Ethnic Ad-libs]

[Post-chorus]
Bittersweet the start, bittersweet the day
Carry your shadow as you walk away

[Rock Guitar Solo with Echo buildup]

[Verse 2]
I will follow wolfish trails
Through the drifts, where tempests call
In the morning, heart prevails
Fierce and bold against the squall
Through rage and sorrow turned to stone
I’ll ignite these lips gone cold
Breathe the fire into your soul
Warm the winter, break the mold
[Drums Break, Echo Guitar]

[Chorus]
You slip away each morning with the dawn
Tart gooseberries, sweet lilac on the lawn
I want to see the shine in your hair, hold on
Your violet eyes—what clouds the tears that linger on?
(Your violet eyes—what clouds the tears that linger on?)
[Background Rock Vocals & Ethnic Ad-libs]

[Post-chorus]
Bittersweet the start, bittersweet the day
Carry your shadow as you walk away

[Rock Guitar Solo Interlude]

[Drums Break]

[Verse 3]
Can I know if you’re my fate?
Or is this longing meant for pain?
Did you fall for me too late?
Or love me just to break the chain?
[Emotionally Loud]
When desire wrapped me tight
Did you love at your own cost?
We are burning in the night
Gaining more by what we lost
[Drums Break]

[Chorus]
You slip away each morning with the dawn
Tart gooseberries, sweet lilac on the lawn
I want to see the shine in your hair, hold on
Your violet eyes—what clouds the tears that linger on?
(Your violet eyes—what clouds the tears that linger on?)
[Rock Guitar Solo]

[Post-chorus]
Bittersweet the start, bittersweet the day
Carry your shadow as you walk away
[Cool Long Expressive Rock Guitar Solo]
