Notre Dame (For Séverine)
There on the night
We lost Notre Dame
The silence of bells
The howl of alarms
And we sang songs
Recited our hymns
Heads bowed below stars
Recanted our sins
Words in the clouds
Of billowing smoke
High up above
Parisian folk
The ash and the dust
Brought by the wind
Across the dark sea
To Séverine
She wipes the flour
from her hands
The oven's turned low
Sugar like sand
And unleavened dough
Dreams filled with fire
And funeral pyres
And tumbling down
Gargoyles and spires
And sweet Séverine
toasted with gin
A glass to the sky
A never ending goodbye
And in Jervis Bay
A
Single
Sun
Ray
Broke through the clouds

"If Tom Waits, Elvis Costello and Jeff Tweedy were pushed out to sea in a rickety old boat they’d come up with something
like this. ..a boisterous yet soulful musical journey worth the fare. You’ll be stomping and crying and laughing, and if you’re lucky to catch Moldre live, you’ll be doing all three with a whiskey in hand.” Timber & Steel...more
