Shrinking Violet Songtext
von Mostly Autumn

Bit special that Bryan Josh isn′t he?
Right then, this is a song from, "The Last Bright Light"
And, erm, it's a song that, not only has been very special to me over the years
It′s a song that, erm, I'm glad, very glad to know that has reached out to a lot of you aswell
I know you've given me lots of feedback and such over the years
So thank you very much, it means a lot to me
This is, "Shrinking Violet"

(Two, three, four)
Safe until the darkness falls
To loneliness a demon calls
Creeping in, arousing my fears
To breathe a language that no-one else hears

Can I cope alone tonight?
The shrinking violet I′ve become inside
To you I may seem insecure
But did you know me what I was before?


I remember dancing as a child
A careless confidence danced with me
Whatever happened to the sun?
Only seemed to notice when it had gone

Lead me back to where it seems
I danced alone in sunlit dreams, where I loved
Unafraid to play with fire
Viewed through child′s eyes, naive and wild

Can I cope alone tonight?
Shrinking violet I've become inside
To you I may seem insecure
But did you know me what I was before?

I remember dancing as a child
A careless confidence danced with me
Whatever happened to the sun?
Only seemed to notice when it had gone

If I ever meet again with her
Could I tell her I could live with her?
If I ever meet again with her
I will tell her I could live with her


I will cope alone tonight
I′ll fight these demons that I've tried to describe
I won′t be so insecure
I will show you what I was before

I will dance then as a child
A careless confidence will dance with me
I'll be warmed there by the sun
You would notice when I had gone
