Farewell, Mademoiselle | Cordelia Hanford Foster | NPR Tiny Desk Contest 2026

This song is inspired by women of the gilded stage; marvelous players and international icons who maneuvered persistent dualities, especially when it came to privacy and perception. Lyrics: You feign I’m your monster You say you’re misled I’m curved to your liking Sprawled atop your bed If caustic is my nature Then why do you taste sweet? I’m fallen like a seraph Drawn across your feet My friend, how do you see me? My friend, how do you see me? I don’t forget the fractured lines And loaned soliloquies My friend, how do you see me? Well, frankly you seem upset ‘Cause you’re pulling at your necktie I’m lying in my dress You laud my endeavors You call me your best Your land of milk and honey With my legs upon your chest If I am your off limits Then why do you lack sleep? You’re far beyond the boundaries, darling Of she’s not mine to keep My friend, how do you see me? My friend, how do you see me? I don’t forget the fractured lines And loaned soliloquies My friend, how do you see me? Well, frankly you seem upset ‘Cause you’re pulling at your necktie I’m lying in my dress You’re pulling at your necktie I’m lying in my dress You want me for quickly To prove how I am caste I’m yours for the taking When you’re kneeling to the past If all the books you’ve read of Tell you that I deceive You’ll find your rapture worthy With the goodly belle juive My friend, how do you see me? My friend, how do you see me? I don’t forget the fractured lines And loaned soliloquies My friend, how do you see me? Well, frankly you seem upset ‘Cause you’re pulling at your necktie I’m lying in my dress My friend, how do you see me? My friend, how do you see me? I don’t forget the fractured lines And faux solemnity My friend, how do you see me? Well, frankly you seem upset ‘Cause you’re pulling at your necktie I’m lying in my dress You’re pulling at your necktie I’m lying in my dress You’re pulling at your necktie I’m lying in my dress ____________________________ “Farewell, Mademoiselle” © Cordelia Hanford Foster 2026 ___________________________ Written and Performed by Cordelia Hanford Foster Played on a custom 13 string Ancient Greek Lyre handmade by Luthieros Filmed and Edited by Yiannis Karakatsianis For the fine folk at NPR :) www.cordeliahanfordfoster.com Full-length debut album in the works!
