Clementine
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 just fell apart
There was nothing, then the hurting started
In her heavy head, on her knees, she prayed,
Could somebody help her.
(Chorus)
Clementine-i-i-ine
It was never meant to be this way,
It was never meant to be this way.
Clementine-i-i-ine
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 through the morning dew,
Well she returned in such a state.
Her baby knew not what was going on,
But it could tell from the tears that something was wrong with mum.
Desperation let out its final scream, but Clementine
She didn't hear a damn thing
(repeat Chorus)
Into the mirror she stared at her herself,
Said "Is this my life? Is this what I'm here for?"
Her reflection chose not to respond,
And so she froze to the spot like a cold stone statue,
And begged in her tears, said her time was up...
(repeat Chorus to fade)
Child
Sleep peacefully now my child.
I hope that you go away,
To a place where your dreams can play.
Wipe all the tears from your eyes.
There is a sky of blue,
This is your time of truth.
Like a bird upon on the wind, may you fly away,
Like a snowfall in the spring, may your cares melt away.
Child, innocent child,
Our hope lies inside your starry eyes,
My innocent child.
Hero, now that you are free,
You have no need to fear,
So go out and find your smile.
Like a candle in the stream, may you flow away,
Like a feather on the breeze, may you float away.
Child, innocent child,
Our hope lies inside your starry eyes,
My innocent child.
Like a candle, like a snowfall, like a feather, like a bird,
Fly away.
Like a candle, like a snowfall, like a feather, like a bird,
Fly away...
Child, innocent child, my innocent child.
Child, innocent child, fly away.
Child, innocent child, my innocent child.
Child, innocent child, fly away.
Sleep peacefully now my child,
I hope that you go away,
To a place where your dreams can play.
