Clementine Lyrics - Green Man - Mark Owen

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 she prayed 

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 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 its final scream 

But our clementine didn't hear a damn thing 

[REPEAT CHORUS]
