Lyrics: Violet, Violet Violet's the color for me Halfway between blood and the sky Everything I want to see
Violet, Violet Violet's the chakra for me in the key of B at the top of her head Seeking divinity
On my way to another place I stop long enough to breathe
Violet, Violet Violet's the flower for me the ancient Greek symbol of love Flower of fertility Flower of fertility
Notes: In Ancient Greece, the violet was both a symbol of love and fertility and the symbol of the city-state of Athens.
Quotes: "This one takes a lot of cues from Leonard Cohen too, even though it's a very personal song. Violet, my girlfriend, suggested putting this one right before the last track, to have a little calm before the storm" - Frank on recording Honeycomb - Night Times. 12/06/2005
Did your fianceé cry when she heard 'Violet'? "Um, I don't know. i think she might have cried when she heard the other song that i'm singing with my ex-wife...but for different reasons." - Interview in The Clash.
