Cello Solo on the Seine
Van Gogh's Grandsons
Surreal Romance · Dreamlike Reunion · Bittersweet Indie Pop
#VERSE
Neon night along the river
Naked woman on a public bench
An ermine blanket on her lap
Completely normal if you’re French
#VERSE
I recognized my sweet Monique
F-holes I painted on her back
Her body’s curving cello shape
An inside joke that made us laugh
#CHORUS
Her music echoes
In my heart
She was the cello
I played my part
Neon ripples on that river
Gently flowing once again
Cello solo
By the Seine
Cello solo
By the Seine
#VERSE
She never wrinkled, never aged
Here tonight like years before
My collegiate summer art exchange
She played cello while my paint poured
#BRIDGE
Now I reach out my open hand
Feel time fall out like see-through sand
I try to touch her ermine shroud
Hear her cello, soft but proud
I returned where neon lights still shimmer
Her final joke, a silent river
#CHORUS
Her music echoes
In my heart
She was the cello
I played my part
Neon ripples dance like lovers
Gently laughing once again
Cello solo
By the Seine
Cello solo
By the Seine
Cello solo
By the Seine
