The Chaconne |
| The books I read |
| Said you were a fragile kid |
| Just as I imagined it, your story goes |
| Another nosebleed, |
| Roses on the pillowcase |
| The fever breaks |
| And you’re back on earth again |
| You rehearse |
| In the living room |
| The nursemaid |
| Comes mid-afternoon |
| To say you’ve practiced |
| Long enough today |
| She takes your bow, it’s suppertime |
| But oh, your only appetite |
| Was fixed on the chaconne |
| You’d hoped to play |
| So soon you’re off |
| To the academy |
| The honors |
| And the accolades |
| First a darling, then a marvel |
| When we met, I was still a young girl |
| But you had changed |
| Already famous |
| Your name was a contagion |
| You were vain and hard to take |
| All the same, I was brazen |
| How the tides rise |
| I don’t suppose you’d tell the truth |
| So I won’t ask you anymore |
| Oh the things that we all do |
| To pass the time between the wars |
| I don’t regret a single day |
| Heard your chaconne |
| On every stage |
| But your love sleeps in a velvet case |
| So what’d you bring me, |
| Bring me for |
| What’d you bring me, |
| Bring me for |
| I hear you keep |
| Your pretty wife alive |
| On only brie |
| They say a dozen years ago |
| She could have passed for me |
| She doesn’t trust you with the baby |
| Maybe better that way |
| Safe in your study |
| Going grey |
| You’re at your best |
| When you’re alone |
| Above the fray |
| With your chaconne |
| Now the bells toll |
