Mark Owen Clementine

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