Lyrics

The red Chinese curtains of our hotel room Were cold and silken I traced patterns on your thighs with my fingertips Crushed peach and linen And it'd make me all kinds of happy If we had a little place of our own With lilies outside in the sun's yellow moon 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 the lights And it'd make me all kinds of happy To kiss the warmth of shadows of your collarbone And sleep 'til noon in the sun's yellow moon 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 Oh, morning come soon Morning come soon Chase that old moon Morning come soon
