about

2017 remix of my September 2011 recording of a song inspired by the book 'Le Grand Meaulnes' by Alain Fournier

lyrics

Verse 1
Excited children laughing
They wake you from your journey sleep
A wooded entrance long un used calls you beyond

Verse 2
The sound of music dancing
The light of lanterns burning bright
The carriages of guests arriving lead you on

Verse 3
A gentle piano draws you
Her back is cloked venetian-red
She plays an air you feel you know from somewhere else

Bridge
Oh my love I know that you are out there
Oh my love I don't know how to get there
Oh my love I fear I must be dreaming
But no my love I wear the silken waistcoat

Chorus
Oh my love
Where are you?

Verse 4
Infant pulling at my sleeve
Turning pages on my knee
It's like a future memory as you play in the next room

Verse 5
Morning boat trip on the lake
Your blue eyes rest upon my face
Exchanging names you say you wait for my return

Repeat Bridge

Repeat Chorus

Instrumental to fade
