Svavar Knútur - Clementine lyrics

Oh my darling Clementine How could I leave while you were sleeping? Oh my darling Clementine I couldn't bear to hear you weeping You tried to teach me right from wrong And you tried to burn off all my bad ways But misery's a stubborn friend And she persists, in spite of good days So I sailed from your white sands On a ship of broken plans And your face was on my mind Oh my darling Clementine Oh my lovely Clementine It's such a hell to be without you My soul tormented every night And every day, I think about you I adored you foolish charm Never meant to do you harm And your pain was on my mind Oh my darling Clementine Oh my precious Clementine I never dared to look behind me All this time I ran and ran And I ran aground And I pray you'll find me And with all the bad I've done I realize that you're the one And I hope you'll still be mine Oh my darling Clementine
