With Love, Your Clementine Lyrics

Both my eyes are open
But all my doors are closed
I’m a dead woman walking
Down a long and dusty road

Trying to cash a token
That’s worth its weight in gold
But when I try to spend it
It’s worth nothing at all

A pretty pill, a bitter taste
A view to make you cry
For every brief hello
There’s a long drawn out goodbye

The days when I don’t talk to you
Feel like no ones here at all
I‘m writing now to reach you
But I’ve hit the wonder wall

And I just got this feeling
Everything is going wrong
Remember your voice saying "just hold on"
And I just got this feeling
Everything will disappear
Remember your voice saying "have no fear"

They all sent me flying like a human cannonball
Now my back is broken, broken from the fall
It‘s not what they‘ve been saying
It‘s what they have implied
Now I‘ve gotta be okay
With no one by my side

A bitter pill to swallow
The day I made you cry
You asked why I can‘t love you
I failed but I have tried

Still I keep your postcard
Stuck on my bedside
"You are my greatest failure
With love, your Clementine"

When I get this feeling
Everything is going wrong
I remember your voice saying "just hold on"
And when I get the feeling
Everything will disappear
I remember your voice saying "have no fear"
"And remember When you‘re singing make it rhyme"
Oh, I wish that I could love you, Clementine
I wish that I could love you, Clementine
