CAMILLE CLAUDEL
1) Tender and frail yet proud and brave
There goes Camille Claudel
Travelling down that narrow road
That goes between heaven and hell
But don't let them break you
Don't let them break your will
The warmth of the evening
Turns into a morning chill
2) Shafts of light go where the air is pale
Plaster dust floats to the boards
Your heroes are men who seem to fail
To let you collect your rewards
Those winters in Paris
Summers in Villeneuve fields
Your lover forsakes you
But the world remembers you still
3) Silent tongues speak though they be dumb
Frozen eyes lock in your gaze
You wonder why passion has left you numb
Emotions are frozen in clay
But don't let them break you
Don't let them break your will
The warmth of the evening
Turns into a mourning chill
4) Figures in pieces lie on the floor
All that you love you burn
The carriage it slowly moves away
Never will you return
Those winters in Paris
Summers in Villeneuve fields
Your family forsakes you
But the world remembers you still
5) Tender and frail yet proud and brave
There goes Camille Claudel.
