She heard a voice from so far away
It told 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 through the morning dew
Well she returned in such a state
He baay knew not what was going on
But it could tell from the tears that something's wrong with mum
Desperation let out its final scream
But our Clementine she didn't hear a damn thing
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
Into the mirror she stared at herself
Asked is this my life is this what I'm here for
Her reflection chose not to respond
And so she froze to the spot like a cold stone statue
And bathed in her tears said her time was through
