Clementina - Jealous Of The Birds

The red Chinese curtains of our hotel room

Were cold and silken

And I traced patterns on your thighs

With my fingertips, crushed peach and linen

And it would make me all

Kinds of happy

If we had a little place of our own

With lilies outside and the sun’s yellow moan

Tell my sweet, sweet Clementina

I love none other than she

And when the dawn breaks I’ll be near her

Curled like an apostrophe

Morning come soon

Morning come soon

I wore a powder-blue suit on New Year’s Day

And you said you felt at peace

In a late night laundromat on Fountain Street

Humming tunes with Nirvana

And it would make me all

Kinds of happy

If we had a little place of our own

With lilies outside and the sun’s yellow moan

Tell my sweet, sweet Clementina

I love none other than she

And when the dawn breaks I’ll be near her

Curled like an apostrophe

Morning come soon

Morning come soon

Chase that old moon

Morning come soon

Morning come soon

Morning come soon

Chase that old moon

Morning come soon

Morning come soon

Morning come soon

Chase that old moon

Morning come soon
