We stole away
(The air cool, and lively),
Strolling down a side street at a calm, and quiet pace.
The ambient noise of several a raised voice echoed
faintly through pulses of bass.
In that moment,
A world removed...
(Something came over me) With impulse, revelry;
(Grabbing her hand) -- "May I have this dance?"--and then
we swam in waves of 'Frenesi'.
Nervously laughing,
you, always self-conscious
It was one of things I so loved about you
I wanted us to breathe the air of life lived carefree,
And to bask in adventures anew.
Laughing, twirling
On a moonlit night
Time stood still, as we swayed like waves in the ocean
The world was ours, near those downtown bars as
we painted the sidewalk with motion.
But life moves on
And time moves forward..
Silence replaced laughter, joy with indifference
And with a colossal divide, a crack at a time
her face grew blurred from the distance.
And then one day
A vague silhouette.
The lover I knew was gone, though once she was close..
Those fiery chocolate eyes were now veneered with
icy guise..there was no more repose.
Old memories,
Nostalgic thoughts.
It seemed a losing battle, the battle we fought;
So, raise a toast, I say: à la fille que je connaissais,
j'espère que tu trouver de la joie.
If you've never heard Frenesi by Artie Shaw, I highly encourage you to. Fantastic song if it's your style.
