Purple Shades

The Troggs

Purples shades at night

Filming the birds in flight

Dancing on cellophane moons

Soon they'll crystallize

Passing before my eyes

Taking me out of my room



Into the night

Making me feel good



Band of butterflies

Twice their normal size

Flying around in my mind

Strange as summer snow

They just come and go

Everything moves out of time



Into the night

Making me feel good



I can move a mountain high

I can move a mountain low

And the snow will melt in the warmth of the sun



Things have multiplied

Dreams don't coincide

Something is taking control

Visions new to me

Drift on endlessly

Taking a part of my soul



Into the night

Making me feel good



Giant teddy bears

Climbing up my stairs

Roses dived in my hem

What they symbolize

I don't realize

Something I don't understand



Into the night

Making me feel good

Into the night

Making me feel good
