Claire Fontaine |
I like the paper you make |
We were introduced |
By a lover of mine |
And now she’s gone |
But I still have you |
Claire Fontaine |
Claire Fontaine |
You seem to bring |
The best out of me |
And the things that |
I write to sing |
Claire Fontaine |
Claire Fontaine |
Are you a lumberjack or something? |
Does your father own a forest |
Are the nicest trees for choppin'? |
Claire Fontaine |
And Claire Fontaine |
Your sheets are very smooth |
I like to rub my pen across them |
Do you feel the way I do |
Claire Fontaine? |
Claire Fontaine |
You seem to bring |
The best out of me |
In the things that |
I write to sing |
Claire Fontaine |
If newspapers used |
Your paper for the news |
Things would seem less terrifying |
Just because of you |
Claire Fontaine |
And were you in a garden |
When they said the war had started |
Do you think you’d write a letter |
That would start 'my dear departed…' |
Claire Fontaine |
Claire Fontaine |
You seem to bring |
The best out of me |
And the things that |
I write to sing |
Claire Fontaine |
Oooh-oh |
Claire Fontaine |
I’m going home for Christmas |
They may refuse me entry |
'Cause you’re native to this country |
Claire Fontaine |
But as a foreigner relinquish |
A pad of paper so distinguished |
I’d say 'never, never, never |
I’ll take this pad of mine to heaven' |
Claire Fontaine |
Where maybe I would choose |
To write a fan letter or two |
I might write one to Andy Warhol |
And the other one for you |
And you could rest assured in knowing |
They’d be on your paper too |
Claire Fontaine |
Who are you? |
Claire Fontaine |
You seem to bring |
The best out of me |
And the thing that |
I write to sing |
Claire Fontaine |
