Clementine is one of our favorite tracks, also featured on Svavar Knútur's solo album Kvöldvaka. It tells two different stories and we just love it so...
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
You tried to burn away 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 is 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 your childish charm
Never meant to do you harm
And your pain is 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 realise that you’re the one
And I hope you’ll still be mine
Oh my darling Clementine
And with all the bad I’ve done
I realise that you’re the one
I’m such a fool, will you be mine
Oh my darling Clementine
