Lyrics of Violet Hill by Coldplay
verse
Was a long and dark December, from the rooftops, I remember
There was snow, white snow
Clearly, I remember from the windows they were watching
While we froze down below
When the future's architectured by a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low
chorus
If you love me, won't you let me know?
verse
Was a long and dark December, when the banks became cathedrals
And a fox became God
Priests clutched onto Bibles hollowed out to fit their rifles
And the cross was held aloft
Bury me in armor when I'm dead and hit the ground
My nerves are poles that unfroze
chorus
And if you love me, won't you let me know?
bridge
I don't want to be a soldier
Who the captain of some sinking ship would stow
Far below
chorus
So if you love me, why'd you let me go?
outro
I took my love down to Violet Hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silent still
So if you love me, won't you let me know?
If you love me, won't you let me know?
Writer(s): Jonathan Mark Buckland, Christopher Anthony John Martin, William Champion, Guy Rupert Berryman
