Lilac is purple; purple is blue

The smell is so great, you’ll pursue.

Night after night, in a pitch-black room,

The smell of lilacs makes you renew.

…………………………..

I wake up at night, night after night.

Dancing with my shadow, really tight.

In my home, in my pitch-black room.

The smell of lilac is full of delight.

…………………………..

In my pitch-black room, how can you see?

You need no eyes for you to be.

The smell of lilacs will guide you through.

Come with me, my darling, and dance with me.

…………………………..

I’m in my room, which is pitch black.

Blackish blue, the white I lack.

 I love to dance to the sound of rain

The smell of lilacs will let me go back.
