She sings along to sailor's song In a dress that she made When she's gone I sing along But it doesn't sound the same
Oh Nouel, you sing so well Sing only for me? Fickle and changeable Though I may always be
I pulled a thorn from her tiny paw Her feet were unclean Fetch the water, blessed twice And hand a sponge to me
I do well to serve Nouel Whatever service I may be Fickle and changeable Weighing down on me
She speaks a word and it gently turns To perfect metaphor She likes to say that I only play When I know what I'm playing for
Oh Nouel, you sure know me well And I didn't even show you the scar Fickle and changeable Semper femina
She would like to be the kind of free Women still can't be alone How I wish I could hit the switch That keeps you from getting gone
Oh Nouel, it must hurt like hell Are you so afraid to die? Semper femina So am I
She lays herself across the bed The Origine du monde Slight of shoulder, long and legged And her hair a faded blonde
Oh Nouel, you sit so well A thousand artists' muse You'll be anything you choose Fickle and changeable are you And long may that continue
I do well to serve Nouel My only guiding star Fickle and changeable Semper femina
