Paris

You moved to Paris

Under browsers watchful eye

Dressed in lace

A Miami cat walk smile

Sold a reverie of romance

Offered up an advance to your touch

In spotlight of the moonlight

In the chamber of your gaze

Through the background of your memory

In the games you used to play

Missed the stage in Brooklyn suburbs

Dreamt of something bigger than this chase

And all that I'm faced with

The memory of your kiss

Slept in the motor

Of a late night mountain crawl

Had a near miss when the arctic swerved us

Saw the west coast in an eclipse

Lost a Pāua necklace and your charm

Now in the spotlight of the camera

As the feathers frame your face

As you loose yourself to disco

And the crutch you had replaced

There's an idea of your memory

Held within the reverie of your palm

As you fade away

I think it's time to leave this tale untold

To leave this tale untold

As you fade away

I think it's time to leave this tale untold

To leave this tale untold

Amongst silent pros and words never spoke

Lingering thoughts narrate footsteps down roads never crossed

Undressed and baptised in the beauty

Of what once was

Sweet loves true burden

And liberations dark cost

And as your lover's battle with themselves and forget their crooked perch

I am but a flaneur within your story

I cross myself to the demons who raise themselves at the matter of loves loss and wave goodbye at the water's edge

Of canal st matin

As you fade away

I think it's time to leave this tale untold

To leave this tale untold

As you fade away

I think it's time to leave this tale untold

To leave this tale untold
