spoken: À Bientôt, Azizam *[Intro — whispered, low-Hz]* Doucement… pas encore *[Verse 1]* I keep a candle for a road I haven't walked low to the ground, the way that water talks — it never climbs, it finds the humble floor sabr, sabr… I'm not in a hurry anymore *[Pre-Chorus]* mirror, don't show me everything tonight leave me something I still have to earn by light *[Chorus]* à bientôt, azizam — I'll meet you when it's time you're further down a softer road than mine I won't run to you, I'll rise the way the morning does slow, and sure, and low enough to love à bientôt, joon… reste là — I'm coming, doucement *[Verse 2]* they want the bloom before the rose is ready I keep my hands open, keep the candle steady whatever I become, let me stay this small — the tallest reeds are the first ones to fall *[Chorus]* à bientôt, azizam — I'll meet you when it's time you're further down a softer road than mine I won't run to you, I'll rise the way the morning does slow, and sure, and low enough to love *[Bridge — high-Hz spike, then collapse]* and if I forget — azizam, pull me down to the soil, to the start, to the quiet sound hamin-ghadr… just this much, just enough *(falsetto breaks)* …joonam… *[Outro — whisper]* doucement… à bientôt I'll see you there, azizam
