lyrics

ODE TO GRANNY

In the attic, I smell your antique perfume.
Has it blended in to your white silk dresses?
Is it amber, white rose or jasmine in bloom
That have finally turned to flowers ashes?

I repeat the movements I remember well :
Light powders, white creams or heady red lipsticks,
Like a little girl searching for the mystique
And charming the devil, lonely beast, in hell.

I mislead the mirror and my reflection:
old-fashioned dresses, bowler hat and high heels,
Golden jewels in a steel chest…

In the attic, I smell your antique perfume
Blended in with dust, dried flowers, hidden in the gloom.
It's not amber, white rose, but it's an orchid
That let me know today I’m a woman, I'm bewitched.
