She heard a voice from so far away It told 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 [Chorus] 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 it's final scream But our Clementine didn't hear a damn thing [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
