Fly Me to the Moon

I came down wrapped in linen light,
A whisper slippin’ through the night.
A heart in bloom, a jar of glass,
They sealed me shut and let me pass.
I dreamed of fire, but woke to skin,
To bleed me soft and break me in.
They said, “you’ll learn, but never whole.”
They stitched a lock into me soul.

I kicked the gates with bloodied feet,
Found nothin’ soft, nothin’ sweet.
I cursed the stars, I cracked the bone,
Dragged me through this life alone.
They said, “it’s rage that makes you wise,”
I burned through truth, then swallowed lies.
But salt still drips, don’t matter how—
We’re all just tryin’ to make it out somehow.

I broke slow, I broke kind…

I tore through like a landslide blind.

Thread by thread, I faced the flame—

I let it scar me, ain’t got shame.

We cracked, we bled, we bore that prose—
The soul remembers…
in the vessel of the rose.

Each thorn was ink on pages torn,
I loved in silence, stitched and worn.
You screamed, but me, I studied pain,
Both of us caught in the same rain.

You walked with grace, I limped through fire,
Still we met by the same wire.
You with a book, me with a bruise—
Two ways through, we didn’t choose.

Did you hear the hush before the fall?

Only felt the fists against the wall.

Did you see the light beneath the stone?

Just shadows starin’ through me bone.

We cracked, we split, we bore that prose—
In every scar, the rose still grows.
From wax to ash, from breath to close,
We found each other…
in the vessel of the rose.

Salt or silence, love or flame—
It all leads back to where we came.

Vessel of the rose

[Verse]

J'ai un bouquet de roses que je voulais t'offrir

Mais tu es parti

Y a plus personne

Y a plus de bruit

Le grand silence après la fête


[Verse]

J'ai des bouquets de roses fanées dans un vase

J'voudrais qu'tu restes

Moi je te pleure

Y a que du vide

Il n'y a rien d'autre que la fête


[Chorus]

Si tu pars je reste

J'ai encore tant à vivre

Tant à donner à quelqu'un d'autre

Y a que le vide

Il n'y a rien d'autre que la fête


[Verse]

J'ai un bouquet de roses que je voulais t'offrir

Mais tu es parti

Y a plus personne

Y a plus de bruit

Le grand silence après la fête

 
[Verse]

J'ai des bouquets de roses fanées dans un vase

J'voudrais qu'tu restes

Moi je te pleure

Y a que du vide

Il n'y a rien d'autre que la fête


[Chorus]

Si tu pars je reste

J'ai encore tant à vivre

Tant à donner à quelqu'un d'autre

Y a que le vide

Il n'y a rien d'autre que la fête

J'ai un bouquet de roses - Jef Bourgeau

A sultry, jazz-infused ballad with Latin rhythms and haunting instrumentation, "Dust You Left Behind" weaves a tapestry of longing and surrender. The lyrics meditate on the futility of chasing love and material fulfillment, instead embracing the wisdom of letting go. The singer’s voice lingers like smoke over melancholic guitar lines and lush piano chords, creating a mood that’s both intimate and expansive—like a confession whispered in an empty cathedral.

[Verse 1]
The ache of wanting, the weight of gold
Pockets full but the hands grow cold
Reaching for the river’s bend
But the water won’t be pinned

[Pre-Chorus]
Let go, let go, child, lie down
You’re a seed in the cold ground
No need to climb, no need to rise
The moon don’t beg the lonely sky

[Chorus]
Oh, the years roll, slow and sly
Stealing the light from your hungry eyes
What if the love you’re chasing blind
Is the dust you left behind?

[Break]

[Verse 2]
Scraped your knees on the altar stairs
Polished your prayers like silverware
But the wild grass won’t be tamed
And the wind don’t need a name

[Bridge]
Love ain’t a wishbone, love ain’t a debt
It’s the crack in the door you forgot to set
Kneel in the dirt, let the rain come in
Love’s not a prize—it’s the letting in

[Outro]
So let go, let go, like an ash
The dark ain’t nothing but the cradle of dark
And the earth will turn, and the tide will rise
You’re the hollow and the hymn inside

[End]
