Joli Coeur

(album: Uncertain Joys - 2023)

Today I took a walk through your neighbourhood
I could've sworn it's in another dimension
How long ago was it you left for good?
If only I could guess in which direction
Now on the radio they cut your song
As if in confirmation you are gone
I need a medium to bring you back
Into the wilderness to find your tracks

Oh, on the autumn breeze
I swear I heard you whisper me
But it was just a reverie
A dreamer, I suppose
That's all I've only ever known
And now I guess it starts to show
Joli Cœur

Tomorrow borrows all my hope from me
Dripping red, I have fed all of my demons
To be a solitary is to be free
Without a destination, left without a reason
Now on the radio they kill your song
To feed the narrative that you are gone
I can't recall if you were even here
In time all memory will disappear

Still on the autumn breeze
I swear I heard you whisper me
But it was just a reverie
A dreamer, I suppose
That's all I've only ever known
And now I guess it starts to show
Now what am I to do?
I'm never not dreaming of you
I'm never not speaking to you
Joli

Now, what are we to call this space
(Now, what are we to call this space?)
That drinking potions can't replace?
(That I can't replace)
What even was your name?
(What even was your name?)
Now I can't remember your face
(Your face)

Still on the autumn breeze
I swear I heard you whisper me
But it was just a reverie
A dreamer, I suppose
That's all I've only ever known
And now I guess it starts to show
Now what am I to do?
I'm never not dreaming of you
I'm never not speaking to you
