Darlin' Clementine

As the snow does to a fire

The evening was lulled to sleep

The daylight rises red, with bloodshot eyes

The river murmurs its ballad to each soft awakening

 

Tell your eyes not to carry us

Back from which we came

The candles dance and play

So sweet, to the point of hilarious 

A laugh escapes before I can contain it

It will find us home again

 

I hum to you, like my darlin' Clementine

You slept with that smile, so sweet

Clutched to your chest,

I dare not awaken you

Just whisper to me, your dreams at peace
