Folk-pop reimagining of the old song, "Darling Clementine". Big changes in structure and a lot of new lyrics, but the heart of the song remains, I think, the same.

Lyrics
"Clementine" Capers Simmons VERSE I Written on your gravestone are the words your wrote To tell the world the way you were when you were still alive You've left and gone away But where, I cannot tell. I know you're not in heaven and I don't believe in hell. You're not here tonight. You've left and gone away PRECHORUS I Ruby lips above addictions Blowing bubbles, soft and fine But alas, I was no swimmer So I lost my Clementine CHORUS I You are lost and gone forever And I'll never get you back. I am dreadful, I am sorry, but I can't When I look out of the window And I see the city shine, I hear it: All the world is singing, "Clementine." VERSE II Written in your journals are the worlds you longed to write To tell me all the time that you were still in love I can't read what they say. My eyes are filled with the tears I long to cry And I cannot contain them, 'cause you're not here tonight You've left and gone away PRECHORUS II In her dreams she still does haunt me Robed in garments soaked in wine Once, in life, I used to hold her Now she's dead. I draw the line ~ CHORUS I ~ BRIDGE Light she was, and like a fairy And I loved her. She was mine In the copses of the forest In the clearing, in the night Oh, my darling, oh, my darling Oh, my darling Clementine Thou art lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine VERSE III Written on the pillows are the words you spoke To tell me that your heart was broke And you were slowly dying. Your breasts fall, rise, and I'm Lying beside you, painting pictures in my sky I'm unbelieveing. I'm not listening when you cry CHORUS II I was frightened, you were falling, And I never shall forget. You were all I ever wanted, but now you're dead When I look into my glasses And I see they're filled with wine, I drink it. All the while, I'm singing, "Clementine." ~ CHORUS Ib ~
