about
My friend Juliette wrote me a poem at the bar in Dawson City in November 2019, the longest month of our lives. That poem became this song.
lyrics
I remember when you told me
at least I didn't fake it.
well, I didn't ask for consolation.
at the same bar, but we're in different constellations
drag my cigarette, blow some smoke
for conversation.
Isn't it amazing?
That sparkle I gave you,
I saw it in your eye.
I didn't know you'd saved it.
I didn't think you'd save it.
Isn't it amazing?
A thrill, a baby
a new thing for holding
oh yes, oh maybe
don't blame me
for asking again
Made a move to move on
When the party lost its favour
Just one thing left to ask you
have you always been a stranger?
have you always been a
A thrill, a baby
a new thing for holding
oh yes, oh maybe
the sun tells the morning
these days
And I just have one thing left to ask you:
have you always been a stranger?
have you always been a stranger?
have you always been a stranger?
