The Disenchantment Chord

We sang of the warm hearts now hidden
in the days of open war
when escape was the only light missing
I saw Mona Lisa running on the shore

Dancing insane in the wind
on an ocean I’ll never know
she hides from me teardrops of reflection
and in me the anger overflows

(Chorus)
Bohemians on the loose
on a world we can not afford
the poet hides his noose
deep in the disenchantment chord

Now there’s the crypts of division
and the spotlight is on all our faults
but I remember dancing at the white house
long before this age of insults

Van Gogh saw his fury and
was paid after his time
now there’s no life left here to bury
and greed, my friends, is a crime

(Chorus)
Bohemians on the loose
on a world we can not afford
the poet hides his noose
deep in the disenchantment chord

She can no longer understand
this broken road I’m on
flights of fancy find me
hovering in the howling dawn

I know she has her life
and somehow I’ll have mine
But I really live when comes the day
she gives me her sweet time

(Chorus)
Bohemians on the loose
on a world we can not afford
the poet hides his noose
deep in the disenchantment chord

Keep me in mind don’t move me
to your spambox of rejection
I’ve sat here 20 years
preparing for connection

You don’t matter as much to others
as you always will to yourself
enjoy the ride keep prayers for mothers
and don’t hide upon the shelf

(Chorus)
Bohemians on the loose
on a world we can not afford
the poet hides his noose
deep in the disenchantment chord

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏 ... more
