Jill Sobule Claire Lyrics

Claire Lyrics

Dear Claire she gets up at three
She makes some toast and a cup of tea
But
she forgot and watched TV
As the water all boiled down
The place almost
burned down

Dear Claire she was a pioneer
Her sister said she flew in
WWII
She stares out the kitchen door
She says it looks like rain
I'm
sure it's gonna rain

The secret life of Claire
I wish I had the
key
The treasures buried there
In the secret life of Claire

Dear
Claire
I go and help her once a week
She tells me stories and I ask her
what she needs
She told me back in '44 she slept with Eleanor
Sometimes
she gets confused
For all we know it's true

The secret life of
Claire
I wish I had the key
The treasures buried there
In the secret
life of Claire

Dear Claire
She wonders why the leaves have
turned
And why the summer's been so short this year
And Claire she asks
for my name
Have you been here before?
Are you someone I should
know?
Then perhaps you'd better go

The secret life of Claire
I
wish I had the key
The treasures she could share
In the secret life of
Claire
I wish that I'd been there

The secret life of Claire
Oh how
I wish I knew
And I bet she wishes too
In the secret life of Claire
