« Your Body in the Dark »
Jean-Paul Verneret

10/9/2024

Night is falling, the world’s erased,
Only your ghost remains in place.
My hands reach out, but find the air,
Your absence burns, a wound I bear.
I’m searching for your body in the dark,
Only a shadow, a fading spark.

Chorus
I’m searching for your body in the dark,
A fragile flame, a hopeless spark.
Everything whispers still of you,
I run to find you, but it’s not true.

Bridge
Night is falling, the lights all die,
Your ghost is walking, it passes by.
Though I keep closing my eyes once more,
I hear your breathing, I feel your form.

Your scent is haunting the empty bed,
Each silence speaks the words you said.
I close my eyes to hold you near,
But dawn arrives, you disappear.
I’m searching for your body in the dark,
Chasing a dream that leaves no mark.

Chorus
I’m searching for your body in the dark,
A fragile flame, a hopeless spark.
Everything whispers still of you,
I run to find you, but it’s not true.

Bridge
Night is falling, the lights all die,
Your ghost is walking, it passes by.
Though I keep closing my eyes once more,
I hear your breathing, I feel your form.

Even if winter hides my way.
