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
I SAID FRIEND
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
THROUGH 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 FANTASY
BUT OUR CLEMENTINE
DIDN'T HEAR A DAMN THING
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
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
CLEMENTINE WAS THROUGH
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
IF ONLY I'D TOLD YOU YESTERDAY
IF ONLY I'D TOLD YOU YESTERDAY
