"Clementine" lyrics
(originally by Elliott Smith)
Waking you up to close the bar
Street's wet, you can tell by the sound of the cars
Bartender's singing "Clementine"
He's turning around an open sign
"Dreadful sorry, Clementine"
Though you're still her man
Seems a long time gone
Maybe the whole thing's wrong
What if she thinks so but just didn't say so?
Drank yourself into slow-mo
Made an angel in the snow
Anything to pass the time
And keep that song out of your mind
"Oh, my darling
Oh, my darling
Oh, my darling, Clementine
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
Dreadful sorry, Clementine"
Street's wet, you can tell by the sound of the cars
Bartender's singing "Clementine"
He's turning around an open sign
"Dreadful sorry, Clementine"
Though you're still her man
Seems a long time gone
Maybe the whole thing's wrong
What if she thinks so but just didn't say so?
Drank yourself into slow-mo
Made an angel in the snow
Anything to pass the time
And keep that song out of your mind
"Oh, my darling
Oh, my darling
Oh, my darling, Clementine
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
Dreadful sorry, Clementine"
