Track Name: 1973 Whisper
1973 Whisper

I’m going to crown you again
With my hands of clay
And then I will tell you
What I wanted to say
When you were there for me and I was away

Autumn’s tears lay still upon the leaves
The black drapery has fallen now
We seek refuge from the bleakness in each other’s arms
The promise of yesterday

Grotesque GM
Deafening AM
Driving in squares, burnt ambition
And you ache with me

Autumn’s tears lay still upon the leaves
The black drapery has fallen now
We seek refuge from the bleakness in each other’s arms
The promise of yesterday

In the sunlit silence
We abandon

Brown hue city
Flat roofs glisten
Sidewalks empty
And you ache with me

Autumn’s tears lay still upon the leaves
The black drapery has fallen now
We seek refuge from the bleakness in each other’s arms
The promise of yesterday awaits us tomorrow
Track Name: My Townhouse Life in Philadelphia
My Townhouse Life in Philadelphia

You’re sorry
You’re sorry
But don’t be
I know what you didn’t do

Rest easy
Time is funny

My townhouse life in Philadelphia seems bland to me

A clever sunset on an open boulevard
A mournful commute through shadows I disregard
A windowless breeze seeps through me
Laces my thoughts and I’m home

You’re sorry
You’re sorry
But don’t be
I know that I am … home
Track Name: Chaloir de décembre
Chaloir de décembre

J’espère que votre lit qui, dans le soir d’hiver
Vous appelait désir, n’aura point en cet instant
Où le ciel s’allume de mille et un clins d’yeux
Encore votre douce beauté dans le froid laissée choir

Sur le croissant de lune où le mystère esquisse
Un pâle sourire, Jules Verne lui-même
Au temple sélénite, vous aurait déifiée
Déposant à vos pieds un écrin de bonheur

L’air frissonne de votre mélodie
Des passages de vous parfument mon jardin obombré
Le temps suspend son vol, il n’y a plus que vous
Vers qui à l’infini s’engouffrent mes pensées

Sur le croissant de lune où le mystère esquisse
Un pâle sourire, Jules Verne lui-même
Au temple sélénite, vous aurait déifiée
Déposant à vos pieds un écrin de bonheur
