Spring Awakening movie - The Song of Purple Summer lyrics

Song by Lauren Pritchard<br /><br>

ILSE:<br>

And all shall fade<br>

the flowers of spring<br>

the world and all the sorrows<br>

at the heart of everything<br>

<br>

but still it stays<br>

the butterfly sings<br>

and opens purple summer<br>

with a flutter of its wings<br>

<br>

the earth will wave with corn<br>

the grey-fly choir will mourn<br>

and mares will neigh<br>

with stallions that they mate<br>

foals they've borne<br>

<br>

and all shall know the wonder<br>

of purple summer...<br>

<br>

And yet, I wait<br>

the swallow brings<br>

a song to hard to follow<br>

that no one else can sing<br>

<br>

the fences sway<br>

the porches swing<br>

the sky begins to thunder<br>

crickets wander, murmuring<br>

<br>

the earth will wave with corn<br>

the grey-fly choir will mourn<br>

and mares will neigh<br>

with stallions that they mate<br>

foals they've borne<br>

<br>

and all shall know the wonder<br>

I will sing the song of purple summer<br>

<br>

and all shall know the wonder<br>

I will sing the song of purple summer<br>

<br>

all shall know the wonder<br>

of purple summer...<br>

<br>
