Lyrics:

“THE PLAY” 
©2011 Gabrielle Faust 
 
 
The final act took its toll 
Empty seats growing cold 
The stage is dark and so are we 
 
Homeless souls in tragedy  
Forgetting lines from too much drink 
Smiling for the world as we’re told 
 
(CHORUS) 
I will say goodbye 
As you sail into the night 
I will lift my glass and toast your name 
Slaves unto the past 
Like fools we must laugh 
At the sad remains of this play 
 
Who are we as the curtain falls 
Nameless whores of life and art 
Rented rags disguising broken bones 
 
As the last playbill fades to gray 
Soft applause dies away 
One look back as the owner bars the door 
 
(CHORUS) 
 
(Insturmental) 
 
Perhaps we’ll find another stage 
Another town, another day 
Where no knows us except the stories they’re told 
 
Will history keep our mantle and wreath 
Preserved for all eternity 
Or was the moment fleeting as our souls 
 
(CHORUS) 


The Play

A rough home recording of my latest tune "Just a Moment More". Me & my guitar with the help of a tiny microphone and Garageband. Hope you enjoy it! And here are the lyrics...

JUST A MOMENT MORE
©2011 Gabrielle Faust


In between the rifts and seams
Of another southern hallowed dream
Two wayward souls
Touched fingertips
Electric sparks born of the dark
Amidst the chaos that marks the spot
Of cobble stones and passionate breath

I heard your heartbeat soft and low
As dawn broke slow across the Gulf
Whispering its secrets to the night
The legends we must walk amidst
In times when paths are often hid
Easier to face when you are near

(CHORUS)
You are the beauty shadows long to give breath
The river’s tide this dark night we are subject
In your eyes a peace, serenity I kiss
And long for just a moment more 
In your embrace

The courtesans and king of the ball
We watched their joyous endless thrall
A spell cast neither of us could fight
A restless distance to overcome
The fears of miles left unsung
But trust me, darling, my heart’s with you tonight

You are the beauty shadows long to give breath
The river’s tide this dark night we are subject
In your eyes a peace I find, serenity I kiss
And long for just a moment more 
In your embrace
