She heard a voice from so far away
|
It told her her mother had gone away
|
In the next room down the corridor
|
Her baby started to cry
|
Her whole life had just fell apart
|
There was nothing then the hurting started
|
In her heavy head on her knees she prayed
|
could somebody help her
|
|
Clementine
|
It was never meant to be this way
|
It was never meant to be this way
|
Clementine
|
It was never meant to be this way
|
it was never meant to be this way
|
If only I'd told you yesterday
|
|
Got in her car and she sped away
|
Into the floodlit street down by your way
|
As the sun rose by the morning dew
|
Well she returned in such a state
|
Her baby knew not what was going on
|
But it could tell from her tears that something was wrong with mum
|
Desperation let out its final scream
|
But our clementine didn't hear a damn thing
|
|
[REPEAT CHORUS]
|
|
Into the mirror she stared at herself
|
Asked is that my life is that what I'm here for
|
Her reflection chose not to respond
|
As she froze to the spot like a cold hard statue
|
And bathed in her tears she said her time was through
|
