Clementine Songtext
von My Luminaries

Cementine
It′s no waste of time
If there is hope in failure
There's hope in mine
Someday I′ll be Dorian Gray
With a knowledge of fiction
Clear noble diction
And something to say

Like the reddest wine
Too curious for bible
Too sure to be mine
A philistine for the great design
You'll go on in my heart
As you slowly depart
Every inch of my mind
You'll go on in my heart


And like you always say
Its mind over matter
And of all the things they can take
We′ll always have the latter
And the laughter

The valentine
With the saddest lines
Oh merciful creature
The sun rarely shines
On you Clementine
I′m preoccupied
With the night's constellations
Such complications
Are the glint of an eye

You are lost and mine forever
Dreadful sorry for whoever
Is forever mine
Clementine
You are lost and mine forever


And like you always say
Its mind over matter
And I know I′ll find you someday
When time is not a factor
And like you always say
Its mind over matter
And of all the things they can take
We'll always have the latter
And the laughter

Blessed are the forgetful
Blessed are the forgetful
Blessed are the forgetful
But we′re not so successful
