about

An old flame resurrects into your autumn years. I wanted something with the feel of a Parisian patio, wine, and a pack of Gauloises. And the black magic of memory.

lyrics

6. Rendezvous of Fools

She turned and fell into his arms for this one time
and he caressed the naked curve below her ear
He swore he'd never let her drop his guard again
but now she is so now and here
Remember this? she did not have to ask it
when she pressed her hip into his memory so near
she knew as soon as she stepped through his open eyes
his cool reserve would disappear
(refrain)
Is this the way old lovers recall
a passion's nova long since cooled
who knows how wintered flesh remembers the touch
of a rendezvous of fools

What was this thing? Cafe and consequential fling
that gaze two seconds longer than a heartbeat grows
“How are the girls? Your grandson must be thirteen now
did your ex-husband ever know?”
(refrain)
this is the way old lovers recall
the suns of passion long since cooled
who knows how wintered flesh remembers the touch
This rendezvous of fools
[Break]

The small talk fades in phantoms of their half-caught breath
there's no surprise to where this conversation leads
He's soft, she's dry, but still they lie
in tender naked summer skin filled ecstasy

So this surrender to the history of lips
and sweet denial of the of rules
They'd rather be beside each other than beside themselves
This rendezvous of fools
La la, La la, la lala lala lala lala lah la la....ce rendezvous des fous
